My father was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and I'm trying to learn more about the condition. People talk about different types of diabetes. Which type of diabetes is generally considered the most dangerous or severe?

In my experience with my family members, uncontrolled diabetes is the most dangerous, regardless of whether it is Type 1 or Type 2. My uncle has Type 2 and faced severe kidney issues because he neglected his diet and medicine.

My father's sugar levels shot up to 400 recently and we had a major scare. The doctors told us that any type of diabetes becomes dangerous if you don't monitor your blood sugar daily and ignore your doctor's advice.

From what I've researched, both have serious risks if left untreated. Type 1 is an autoimmune condition requiring insulin, while Type 2 is lifestyle-related but can cause major heart and nerve damage if sugar is not controlled.

I used to panic thinking Type 1 is a death sentence, but after talking to specialists, I realized it's completely manageable. With modern insulin pens and proper routines, people live long, healthy lives. Just stay consistent with your checkups.

Beta, I have lived with Type 2 diabetes for 25 years now. No diabetes is 'dangerous' if you keep your discipline, walk daily, and listen to your doctor. The only dangerous thing is ignoring your health.
