Are there various degrees of diabetes?

Some of my relatives, who are diabetic, eat rice (it's glycemic index is high) everyday. Nothing happens to them. Their blood sugar levels doesn't increase considerably. Only negligible increase is seen in them despite eating something like rice.

Some diabetic people eat low glycemic index millets yet their sugar levels increase. They have to take insulin injection.

Why such variations in response to foodstuffs?

Well there is different type of diabetes and diabetes melitus is not an exact disease it come in a wide range of severity

Also some people just don't care about their condition until it's too late

Nothing happens to them after eating high glycemic rice means, their sugar level itself continues to be like before consuming rice. There's not any appreciable difference in their sugar levels after eating rice.

as far as I know, in type 1 insulin is extracted through Pancrase by taking medicine. In type 2, Pancrase stops producing and then you need external insulin.

If your relatives don't get enough sugar pikes by eating rice, then it is genetic and due to optimise metabolism. Subcontinent people are good at digesting grain, lentils, vegis but not meat. Mainly, it is due to slow metabolism. Perhaps, they are taking in a lot of fibre too which also slows down digestion. Watch Dr Berg videos.

Firstly sorry to hear your family have ongoing medical concerns.

Diabetes is hereditary in both types, so you don't necessarily have to be overweight

My mate is not obese, but almost every male in his family line has had type 1 or acquires type 2 diabetes in older life. There must be a hereditary disposition to this. (Pakistanis)
