Types of Diabetes

Types of Diabetes

Diabetes, a metabolic disorder, comes in various forms. Type 1 results from insufficient insulin production, while Type 2 arises from insulin resistance.

Type 1

In this type, 90% of the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas are permanently destroyed and therefore produce little or no insulin.

Type 2

Type 2 Diabetes usually occurs in people who are obese. In this case, Pancreas continues to produce insulin, sometimes even at higher than normal levels but the body develops resistance to the effects of insulin.
