]]> Comment on Diabetes and Exercise – what’s the big deal??? by Scyphus http://therestofus.everlinkweb.com/2010/02/diabetes-and-exercise-whats-the-big-deal/comment-page-1/#comment-19 Scyphus Wed, 24 Feb 2010 16:21:55 +0000 http://therestofus.everlinkweb.com/?p=50#comment-19 You know John, I actually thought about that as I was writing. Unfortunately, type I diabetics (your lovely wife included) only accounts for about 5-10% of all diabetics diagnosed. And you're absolutely right - this article is focused on Type II diabetes only (acquired diabetes). Type I diabetes is a genetic condition, where the body's own immune cells attack the pancreatic cells that make the hormone insulin (for those that don't know). So, while diet and exercise are extremely important for those people as well, there is no prevention for the condition, as it is brought about by the body's immune system, and not outside factors (as far as we know, research is still on-going). And I'm afraid that the only known "cure" (I use that term VERY loosely) is to transplant the cells that make insulin from one person into another. The treatment for type I is usually very strict blood sugar control and insulin injections. Hope this cleared everything up John - wasn't trying to "skip over" type I diabetics, but the broader audience is *hopefully* going to be type II or pre-diabetics... ;) And hey - thanks for all the great comments you leave on here - makes me feel like someone is reading my stuff... *grin* You know John, I actually thought about that as I was writing.
