I know some people can control their diabetes through diet, but I don’t know what that classifies as. Also is Hypoglycemic in the same category of diabetes?

Hi, I’ve never heard of Type A or Type B. The actual terms are Type I or Type II. Type I diabetics typically are required to take insulin. This is where the insulin is not made in the pancreas.
Most Type II (Or adult-onset) diabetics can maintain their blood sugars with a combination of medication, changing eating patterns, and exercise. Type II’s are usually resistant to insulin. Some Type II folks also have to take insulin. I guess you could call that Type III.
Hypoglycemic is a term related to diabetes of where you have lower blood sugar than normal. Hyperglycemic would mean you have a higher blood sugar count than normal.
For example, if normal blood readings are 80-120 and your readings are on average 180+ then you are hyper. If less than 80 then hypo. The issue when you have low sugar is this can cause some other issues you don’t want.
