High metabolism means the body goes through stuff really fast. For me it’s hard to keep up with it, so I’m always at a deficit.

Type 1 diabetes shows up early 90% of the times (it used to be knows as juvenile diabetes). It’s a result of a autoimmune disorder that destroys the insulin producing cells in the pancreas (it’s a completely different disease than type 2). I was diagnosed when I was 11 yo. Type 2 is a metabolism disorder, often as a result of excess weight and a sedentary life style that develops insulin resistance. While type 2 continue to produce insulin, albeit now enough or not as effective because of fat, type ones stop producing it completely.
