Type 2 diabetics may not produce any or enough insulin, or the body doesn't do what it's supposed to do with it. PS. Type 2 diabetics may also take insulin, and not everyone who has it ate too much sugar. I'm a Type 2 who takes insulin, and my mother was a Type 2 who never weighed over 100 pounds in her entire 78 years. In the most simplistic of terms…Type 1 diabetics don’t produce their own insulin.

Type II diabetes comes from insulin resistance and is usually seen in older, overweight patients whose pancreas is working. Type II diabetes is preventable through proper diet and lifestyle, but type I is not preventable at this time. Maybe we will learn more in time so that type I diabetes can be prevented as well.
