Question by Marianne D: What is the difference between type A and type B diabetes?
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?

Best answer:

Answer by Sketch
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.

You really need to talk to a genealogist for a proper answer to this question as depending on who in your family/his family has it and the type of diabetes/age of onset may have a bearing on it talk to your doctor/obstetric and see if he advises further investigation into this matter

Answer by john e russo md facm faafp
Although there is a book that states that a person’s blood type should dictate their diet – and although this book has made quite a bit of money – it is absolute nonsense. A person’s blood type has nothing to do with the type of diet that they should consume whether they are a diabetic diet or not. The best diet for a diabetic has been muddled quite a bit by of all people the American Diabetes Association. They have changed their recommended diet many times over my 30 years in medicine because there is no ‘special’ diet that a diabetic requires. A diabetic should eat the same diet that would be recommended for virtually anyone – and it is a diet that in urban areas is rarely followed. The diet would be one rich in fresh fruits in vegetables, minimizing processed foods, salt, fats, cholesterol, and sugar (glucose). The latter is a bit complicated as ‘sugar’ is a vague term comprising a varied group of carbohydrates all of which have a different ‘glycemic index’. The higher the glycemic index the more likely that the carbohydrate in the food will end up as glucose as opposed to another substance. Depending upon where in Africa this person is living they may find that the diet is one of fresh fruits and vegetables with a minimal amount of processed food. Salt is easily avoided and fats and high cholesterol food is less common in Africa than in the United States. So far as glycemic index is concerned I do not know that I would worry much about this as from your question I gather that your friend is living in Africa temporarily. If they are planning on living in Africa long-term then I would suggest that they type ‘glycemic index’ into a search engine on the internet for advice. On of the most important issues for a diabetic is to maintain a ‘lean’ body weight. A person’s body mass index should be less than 25 kg/M2 if they are 25 years old or older. If you type ‘body mass index’ into a search engine you will find many sites that will calculate your body mass index for you if you input your height and weight. The 25 kg/M2 referenced above may not apply for those less than age 25 – the goal for body mass index is more difficult to establish for these individuals. I wish you and your friend the very best of health and may God Bless.
