Types of Diabetes

There are two types of diabetes, type 1 and type 2. Type 1 diabetes is typically in younger people and is due to the insufficient production of insulin by the pancreas. Type 2 diabetes is usually in older people, being part of a larger family of diseases including obesity and high cholesterol, and is due to the body gradually losing its ability to use insulin circulating in the bloodstream to convert sugar to energy.
