Type 1 diabetes used to be called insulin-dependent or juvenile diabetes,  It usually occurs among individuals under 20, although it can occur at any age.

In type 1 diabetes, the body does not produce insulin, requiring critical care and management.  It is an autoimmune disease that destroys the body’s ability to make insulin. 

With the help of insulin therapy and other treatments, everyone can learn to manage their condition and live long healthy lives.

 

​

Type 2 Diabetes is the most common type of diabetes. 

In type 2 Diabetes, your body doesn't use insulin properly. And while some people can control their blood sugar levels with healthy eating and exercise, others may need medication or insulin to manage it.

Type 2 diabetes can be prevented or its progress can be slowed by weight loss.
