Signs and Symptoms of Diabetes: The “4Ts” I always remember the “4Ts” when talking about diabetes symptoms: 👉 Tiredness • Thirst • Toilet • Thinner 👈 The “4Ts” matter for both Type 1 and Type 2, though they can show up slower in Type 2 #WorldDiabetesDay #Ireland #T1D #T2D #LADA #MODY #AllTypesofD

The multistage chart for type 1 diabetes. Please note that if you only test positive for 1 autoantibody you are unlikely to progress to later stage type 1. There is a lot of misinformation on social media about this aspect.

Think insulin resistance is a type 2 thing? It isn't. Type 1s are also insulin resistant, relative to non-diabetics. Previous studies suggest the cause is insulin running around the body, compared to non-diabetics where most of it gets cleared by the liver.

Diabetes Awareness & Myth-busting: Eating Sugar DOES NOT cause diabetes. Any type of diabetes. Diabetes is a complex medical condition, and there is no single known cause. What we do know.... #DiabetesAwarenessMonth #WorldDiabetesDay #WDD #Ireland #Diabetes #DiabetesLife
