  • Best way to put it. Also, Type 1 means they are completely dependent on insulin. Type 2 can be managed by diet and sometimes, in rare cases, can me somewhat cured. When you are diagnosed Type 1, you are permanently a diabetic. I remember some of this from nursing classes. It has been a while and I feel we the OP and I could have googled this but are too lazy.

    • I partially agree though diabetes too can in many cases though definitely no all be cured by significant lifestyle changes during the first year after onset. It just rarely is because lifestyle changes are hard.
