Types of Diabetes
Type 1 – Develops when the insulin-producing cells in the body have been destroyed and the body is not able to produce insulin. Type 1 diabetes is treated by injecting insulin or using an insulin pump.
Type 2 – Develops when the body makes some insulin but not able to properly work or there isn’t enough of it. Some mange with a healthy diet, physical activities and if needed by losing weight. But the longer you have it the more likely you will need medication.
