I have type 2 diabetes, so I do know a little about this topic? Does it have any relevance?

Hello people.
I see diabetes listed as a risk factor for heart diseases and I wonder how bad it really is to have diabetes. Is it as bad as smoking? I suppose it depends on how well diabetes is controlled but I just want to get an idea of what damage high blood sugar does to you body.
Cheers.

I was diagosed with type 1 at 37 I have always maintained a weight of around 160 and I am 5’8″. Previously I spent about 15 years in the Marines. Even now I run in 5, 10k’s and some marathons

My daughter is 4 and she is REALLY moody from time to time. It seems to be only on the days when she was high or low. I know this is a side effect but I need to understand more. Since she isn’t able to convey her emotions through words yet please let me know what it feels like, from your experience. And what helps/doesn’t help, makes it worse/better, any advice from another type 1 diabetic would be helpful.

Preferably in just 1 or 2 sentences, what does type 1 diabetes mean to you?

Hi. I need to do a powerpoint for type 1 diabetes and one slide must be about Cognitive Abilities.
Any idea on what I should write?

I am interested in the combination of type 1 diabetes and RA. Anyone else have this problem?

Also, are fasting blood sugar levels an accurate diagnostic test because i heard people with diabetes type 1 can have normal blood sugar levels from fasting but not after eating… is that true?

When you have type 1 diabetes, why does it matter if your blood sugar is high? What happens if you don’tt treat diabetes? What happens if you don’t take the shots or watch what you eat? Do you die?
