There are two types of diabetes.
And understanding the difference might save someone’s life.

 

Let’s break it down:

Type 1 Diabetes

– The body cannot produce insulin.
– It’s not lifestyle-related. It’s autoimmune.
– The pancreas is not working.

– It often shows up in childhood or adolescence.
– People with type 1 need insulin every day to survive. It’s not optional.

– One of the most dangerous signs is diabetic ketoacidosis – a medical emergency.

They didn’t cause it. They’re just managing the reality.

 

Type 2 Diabetes

– The body still produces insulin, but the cells have stopped listening.
– It’s called insulin resistance.
– It happens over time. Often silently.
– Caused by too much sugar, too many processed carbs, stress, poor sleep, and inactivity.
– It’s far more common. And more preventable.

It’s not always about eating sweet things.
It’s about how your body processes food, stress, and time.

Most people living with type 2 didn’t feel it coming.

Because the warning signs are things we normalize:
—Big belly
—High BP
—Skin tags
—Cravings
—Fatigue
—Brain fog
—High cholesterol
—Constant hunger
—Poor sleep
—Gut issues

They thought it was just “getting older” or “work stress” — until one day, the labs spoke.

 

So yes, sugar doesn’t cause every case of diabetes.
That person who never liked soda but has diabetes might have type 1.
But for many people? It’s not just sugar—it’s everything piling up over time.

 

It’s also not your fault if nobody ever taught you this.
If nobody told you your potbelly wasn’t just “family stomach.”
If you grew up thinking bread and malt every day was normal.

 

But now that you know…

You can act differently.
You can heal differently.
You can prevent what many others couldn’t.

 

Type 1 is a disease of lack.
Type 2 is a disease of overload.
Both are serious.
Both need love, attention, and better choices.

But Type 2 can often be reversed with food, movement, fasting, rest, and real support.

 

Start now.
Not when your feet start tingling.
Not when your vision blurs.
Not when the doctor says “we may have to amputate.”

Start now. Your body is asking for help.

Don’t wait till it starts screaming.
