Types Of Diabetes
The two main types of diabetes are type 1 and type 2. Type 1, also referred to as juvenile diabetes, is less common. In type 1 diabetes, the body does not produce insulin which is needed to regulate glucose in the body. This form of diabetes is usually diagnosed in childhood and is managed with insulin supplementation and lifestyle changes.
Type 2, the most common form of diabetes, is also referred to adult onset diabetes. This accounts for the majority of diabetes cases. Unlike type 1, type 2 diabetes sufferers do create insulin in their bodies. However, their body glucose levels still become too high, even with higher insulin production. These people are known as insulin-resistant and need medical and lifestyle therapy to control their glucose levels.
