Type1 Diabetes is genetic it is in the persons DNA and something in their life will happen to trigger it.
Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune deficiency which means that your body starts fighting against itself and eventually stops producing insulin (the protein that regulates your blood sugar levels and enables your body to produce energy.)
With Type 1 Diabetes the pancreas will stop producing insulin, which lowers the amount of glucose in the blood, but glucagon is still produced, which means the blood sugar is still getting higher.
People who suffer from Type 1 Diabetes usually are almost always insulin dependant.
Type 2 Diabetes usually occurs through one’s lifestyle. This could be by obesity or anyher number of lifestyle choices.
People with Type 2 Diabetes can sometimes be insulin dependant, but they are not always. Most people with Type 2 diabetes can control it with their diet.
