In type 1 diabetes your pancreas does not produce any insulin and you would have to be on insulin injections. In type 2 diabetes your body produces insulin but your cells have just become resistant to it and cannot use it as effectively. This can be managed with diet and exercise, oral medication, and in severe cases insulin.
Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes have to do with your body having trouble reducing your blood sugar level. It has nothing to do with making too much sugar but not being able to deal with the sugar that you eat effectively. Type 1 usually develops during childhood (not always) and has to do with the body’s production of insulin (which removes the sugar from the blood) while type 2 (often linked to obesity) is when the body doesn’t react correctly to the insulin.
Type 1 is when you are diagnosed at a younger age than 20 and you have to live with it for the rest of your life. Type 2 is when you are over 20, and most people can get rid of it, due to the fact that most people get it when they are over weight.
Not actually true. Type 1, aka juvenile diabetes, usually occurs in childhood and derives from a failure of the islet cells of the pancreas to produce sufficient insulin to manage plasma glucose levels or the lack of response of target cells to said insulin.
Type 2 diabetes is, essentially, the result of over-stimulation of the islet cells as a result, it is generally thought, of the continual consumption of too much glucose and high glycemic index foods so that the insulin producing cells are unable to respond appropriately to any given challenge. That is, the mechanism, rather like an aging car, fails due to over use. Often this kind can be managed by the expedient of losing weight and making sure to minimize the consumption of high sugar foods or high caloric intakes (read over eating) such that the system cannot manage the excesssive challenge.
There are two types of diabetes, Type 1 and Type 2. Although they are both forms of diabetes, they are totally different diseases. Only 5-10% of all diabetics have Type 1.
Type 1 is an auto-immune disease that usually occurs in childhood or under the age of 20, but not always, which is why it’s sometimes also called Juvenile Diabetes. It is not caused by eating too much junk food, sugar, or living a poor lifestyle. There is nothing you can do to prevent type 1 diabetes and there is currently no cure, although scientists say they are close.
Type 2 usually developes in adulthood and can develope slowly over a period of time. Obesity, poor diet and lifestyle can contribute to this type of diabetes, but this is not always the case. Type 2 diabetes can be prevented, or that’s what some people say. Other people disagree with that statement.
Here are some of the symptoms of Type 1 Diabetes. Some of them might apply to Type 2, but I’m not sure:
*Increased thirst
*Frequent Urination
*Increased appetite
*Drowsiness, Lethargy
*Sudden Weight loss
*Sugar in urine
*Sudden vision changes
*Heavy, labored breathing
*Stupor, Unconsciousness
*Fruity, sweet, or wine – like odor on breath
*And sometimes upset stomach and vomiting
main difference is tht in type 1 body produces less or no insulin and in type 2 there is no insulin deficiency. onset of 1 is in childhood and adulthood for the other.

Having low blood sugar is called hypoglycemia.

Type 1 needs insulin to control.
