By the way, assuming from your nick you are born in 1985, and you are now 20 years old... since when were you diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus?Originally posted by martin_lim85:aaa just here to ask what happened if i did not take my insulin for a period time? -
or if u wan simpler terms, hyperglycaemiaOriginally posted by renorenal:Your sugar levels will go up, way up, and you will suffer from a condition called DKA (Diabetic Ketoacidosis) or HONK (Hyperosmolar Non Ketotic Coma) where you will have symptoms of abdominal pain, vomiting, nausea, headache, dizziness and diarrhea...
This is very dangerous as you will become dehydrated and depleted of your fluids in your body because of the rise in glucose in your body.
Glucose is an osmotic diuresis which draws fluid with them as they pass out from the body, hence if you have high glucose, you have more of these fluids being passed out leading to dehydration.
Not only that, your fluid and electrolyte will become imbalanced... When faced with such symptoms it is best to admit yourself, if not, coma is inevitable. -
i have admit twice for that liao this year. but i have stopped my insulin a day or two due to too tired from work.Originally posted by renorenal:Your sugar levels will go up, way up, and you will suffer from a condition called DKA (Diabetic Ketoacidosis) or HONK (Hyperosmolar Non Ketotic Coma) where you will have symptoms of abdominal pain, vomiting, nausea, headache, dizziness and diarrhea...

That's pretty young to have Type 2... usually those with Type 2 will only occur after 40 years old...Originally posted by martin_lim85:im type 2 from 14yrs old
Nevertheless... how is your family history? Anyone else in your family have diabetes mellitus and from what age? -
o.O thats youngOriginally posted by martin_lim85:im type 2 from 14yrs old
nvm. let the pro in this area talk

Mixtard ? Oh expensive... that's a mixture of different duration of action for the drugs... so you have been taking Mixtard since age 14? How were you diagnosed? Were there ketones found in your urine?Originally posted by martin_lim85:mixtard -

Type 2 is geneticOriginally posted by martin_lim85:my mom but however was told not from genetic
Type 1 is usually not genetic... it is associated more with other autoimmune diseases like DM, thyroid disorders, hormonal disorders and other kidney problems...
Hmmm... so you have been having this problem for 6 years now?

Only Type 1 produces ketone... you sure it is Type 2?Originally posted by martin_lim85:yes there were. start taking only from this march... luckily cvould get free as i am nsf
Type 1 is because your pancreas is depleted of endogenous insulin liau... Henceforth, the body will progress to use up other resources in the body such as fat and protein. By using fat, its breakdown products will produce ketone through a biochemical cycle.
Type 2 is that your pancreas can still produce, but your body receptors that receive glucose appears to be resistant towards the insulin, hence the glucose are not absorbed and utilized... leaving it circulating in the whole body... Ketones here would not be produced immediately as some of the receptors still responds, so glucose will appear first in the urine...
Having said that, I am more worried about your control... -
