Type 1 DiabetesOccurs when the pancreas doesn't produce insulin – the hormone that regulates blood glucose levels. If the glucose in the blood is too high, it can, over time, damage the body's organs. Only 10% of diabetes is Type 1 |
Type II DiabetesThe body doesn't produce enough insulin to function properly, or the body’s cells don't react to insulin (insulin resistance). This means glucose stays in the blood and isn't used as fuel for energy. 90% of adults have Type 2 diabetes. |
