thx and have a good day/night/afternoon!
Type 1 diabetes, also known as Juvenile onset, usually shows up in people before they turn 19. It’s the result of the pancreas not producing any beta cells, or the cells responsible for making insulin. People with type 1 are insulin dependent because their bodies do not make any of its own.
Type 2, or Adult onset, is usually seen in people over age 45, although many more children, teens, and young adults seem to be developing it in recent years. It is usually the result of poor diet and exercise habits, and is most commonly seen in people who are overweight. The extra fat in the body can impair the production of insulin, or make it harder for the body to accept the insulin it does make. People with type 2 can control their condition with diet and exercise, meds, insulin injections, or a combination of the three

Type 1 diabetes is generally contracted when the person is young and is usually genetic in nature.
Type 2 diabetes is generally caused by poor eating and exercise habits.
Both need to be monitored and watched closely. Eating the right foods, exercise, medication, and insulin can all keep diabetes under control.
Diabetics can have sugar, but they need to be careful of how much. Some are more sensitive to this than others. If you are having a spaghetti dinner, for example, you should have a small serving of the spaghetti, but avoid the garlic bread. Also, proteins can help bring the sugars down.

well….type 1/juevenile diabetes is when your pancreas stops making insulin all together so you have to take shots to give your body the insulin and type 2 diabetes is when your pancreas puts out insulin but the insulin is inefective(doesnt do its job) so you have to take pills for it to be able to do its job…there is a third type called gestational diabetes which you just get for a short time while your pregnant.

Type 1 (juvenile) diabetes your body does NOT produce insulin and you have to supplement with daily injections.
Type 2, is adult onset. Your body still produces insulin but i guess kind of forgets how to use it. With diet and exercise you can manage it without medication. Overweight and old people are the most likely candidates.
