Wow.  You really are stupid.

"Type 1 diabetes is an auto-immune condition in which the immune system is activated to destroy the cells in the pancreas which produce insulin.

"We do not know what causes this auto-immune reaction. Type 1 diabetes is not linked to modifiable lifestyle factors. There is no cure and it cannot be prevented."

"The exact cause of type 1 diabetes is not yet known, but we do know it has a strong family link and cannot be prevented.

"We also know that it has nothing to do with lifestyle".

Type 1 diabetes can be misdiagnosed as type 2


Since when?

Dr BH with a failed diagnosis.

So, type 2 diabetes does not become type 1 diabetes.

But it is possible for someone’s type of diabetes to be misdiagnosed.

In other words, someone may be told they have type 2 diabetes, but they actually have type 1 diabetes.

Here’s why: diabetes symptoms can be the same in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

For example, if your blood sugar is high, you may feel tired and thirsty and you might lose some weight.

If you go to the doctor because of your symptoms, you may be quickly diagnosed with type 2 and prescribed a diabetes pill to take.

This is more likely to happen if you’re an adult and if you’re overweight or obese (and another misconception is that everyone with type 1 diabetes is thin and everyone with type 2 diabetes is overweight or obese).

Tests used to diagnose both types of diabetes include checking an A1C level, checking a fasting blood glucose level or doing an oral glucose tolerance test.

If a doctor isn’t sure if you have type 1 diabetes, he or she may do other tests, such as checking for antibodies that attack beta cells in the pancreas, or c-peptide, which shows how much insulin the body is making.

Well I have straightened BH's misconceptions out a bit.

Now another failed diagnosis by Dr BH.

A test for calcium in the blood checks the calcium level in the body that is not stored in the bones. Calcium is the most common mineral in the body and one of the most important. The body needs it to build and fix bones and teeth, help nerves work, make muscles squeeze together, help blood clot, and help the heart to work. Almost all of the calcium in the body is stored in bone.

Normally the level of calcium in the blood is carefully controlled.



When blood calcium levels get high (hypercalcemia), the extra calcium is stored in the bones or passed out of the body in urine and stool.

The amount of calcium in the body depends on the amount of:

Calcium you get in your food.
Calcium and vitamin D your intestines absorb.
Phosphate in the body.
Certain hormones, including parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, and estrogen in the body.
Vitamin D and these hormones help control the amount of calcium in the body.

They also control the amount of calcium you absorb from food and the amount passed from the body in urine. The blood levels of phosphate are closely linked to calcium levels and they work in opposite ways: As blood calcium levels get high, phosphate levels get low, and the opposite is also true.

It is important to get the right amount of calcium in your food because the body loses calcium every day. Foods rich in calcium include dairy products (milk, cheese), eggs, fish, green vegetables, and fruit. Most people who have low or high levels of calcium do not have any symptoms. Calcium levels need to be very high or low to cause symptoms.

"Anyone can become a type 1 diabetic if they persist with a high sugar diet ..."

Incorrect.

But Greggy your high sugar diet WILL cause Type 2 Diabetes which will eventually lead to pancreas failure and you are in the same situation as a Type 1 Diabetes and have to inject insulin - a virtual death sentence.

And the high sugar diet will cause obesity which will lead to high cholesterol which will lead to hardened arteries and a heart attack and probable death.

Do you have life assurance ?


Oh BH haven't you ever heard of pH being used to measure acidity ? The calcium is used to lower the pH of the blood.

And you mean Diabetes mellitus

BH you aren't a GP because a GP would say it WILL happen to frighten the sick patient with blood glucose levels up around 12.

If the pancreas is abused for long periods it will fail as it can only produce a given amount of insulin before it fails. And the patient will become insulin resistant.

In other words they will become very sick and may as well die.
