Type 1 diabetes, which is occasionally still referred to as 'Juvenile Diabetes' is the diabetes that some people are born with or acquire very early on in life because of organ failure.
The pancreas, to be precise, fails to yield enough (or any) insulin to regulate the amount of sugar (glucose) in the blood, which then becomes either (usually) saturated with it or devoid of it.
Neither situation is ideal, so the person with this problem, the diabetic, had to inject insulin each day and occasionally several times a day. The insulin they injected was derived from cows and pigs. Porcine insulin is still used to treat diabetic dogs.
In 1977, it was discovered how to replicate human insulin, which was much more effective on human diabetics and this went a very long way to making life simpler for diabetics.
Many diabetics developed a tolerance or resistance to animal insulin, which made it less and less effectual. This difficulty almost completely disappeared with the new synthetic human insulin.
That was in the late Seventies and now we are in the second decade of the following millennium, over thirty years later and the state of affairs has advanced a huge amount in that time.
These days, there are different variations of (human, cloned) insulin too and it might take several tests, before your GP will know for sure which one is best for you.
For instance, there is Humalog, which is at peak effectiveness within the hour and Ultra Lente, which hits its peak after about 18 hours. There are three things to take into account when judging synthetic insulin:
Onset: the time it takes for the insulin to get to the blood stream and start working
Peaktime: the time after injection that the drug is working at its most effective rate
Duration: the length of time that the insulin stays effective at controlling the blood-sugar level.
This means that a physician has several factors to consider when judging which insulin is correct for the patient. Cost may also be a factor.
The most welcome modern invention is the insulin pump. The insulin pump is inserted under the skin. It continuously monitors the blood-sugar levels and pumps out insulin to compensate.
Moreover, these pumps can contain several forms of insulin so that it is always ready to give you the type of assistance you require.
The insulin pump is much more effective at judging a diabetic's insulin needs than a human, who frequently forgets or becomes complacent, and it monitors the bllod 24 hours a day not just once or two times. The majority of Type 1 diabetics now use an insulin pump to help them lead regular lives.
Type II diabetes normally stems from an insulin tolerance developed later on in life, often well past middle age. This can frequently be regulated with which tablets or other types of medication. People with strong will power can frequently regulate Type II diabetes by diet and exercise.
Those for whom all the above fail, will probably have to take insulin too and then they fall into the same category as Type I diabetics and a pump can help them as well.
