Re: tea
Type 2 diabetes is non-insulin dependant diabetes and usually tends to develop later in life. It can often be controlled by diet or by additional tablets to stimulate the production of insulin.
Type 1 diabetes is where no insulin is produced at all by the body and the person needs regular injections of insulin to control blood sugar levels.
Either type of diabetes sufferer can have a hypo or hyper glucaemic 'turn' where there is either too much or too little sugar in the blood in relation to the insulin. If the sugar levels are too low they usually have a dextrose tablet to compensate (nasty yucky very sweet thing but it gives the necessary quick fix)
