I know diabetes happens when the pancreas don’t produce insulin, but I don’t understand the differences between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes!
Pls help
In Type 1 diabetes, the body stops making insulin or makes only a small amount. Since insulin cannot be given by mouth, it is given by daily injections.Type 1 Diabetes accounts for 5 to 10 percent of diabetes; it usually occurs in people under age 30, but it can occur at any age.
In Type 2 diabetes, the body either doesn’t make enough insulin, or is unable to use the insulin properly (which is called insulin resistance), or both.Some people with Type 2 diabetes are controlled by diet and exercise, while most either take diabetes pills, or Insulin, or a combination of pills and insulin.Type 2 Diabetes accounts for 90 to 95 percent of diabetes, and usually occurs after age 40; however, now it is also occurring more often in children and teens.
one of them is hereditary and NOT caused by eating bad foods. the other IS caused by eating poorly.

there are actually three types…might be easier to just google it.

The process responsible for type 1 diabetes is destruction of insulin-secreting pancreatic islet cells. This is manifested by a mononuclear infiltrate and beta-cell lysis in the islets.[1] The underlying defect that causes type 2 diabetes is insulin resistance. People with type 2 diabetes have an underlying genetic predisposition towards insulin resistance

There are two main types of diabetes: juvenile (type 1) diabetes and type 2 diabetes.
Type 1 Diabetes is sometimes called insulin-dependent diabetes or juvenile diabetes. Most people think only kids can get type 1 diabetes (which is why it got the nickname "juvenile", meaning "young"), but a person can get type 1 diabetes at any age. Still, it’s true that most people get diagnosed with type 1 diabetes some time between birth and their late 30s. With type 1 diabetes, a person’s pancreas either produces very little insulin or none at all. So people with this type of diabetes must inject or pump insulin two or three times or more every day to make up for what the body can’t do. Knowing just how much insulin the body needs at a particular time is very, very tricky. For this reason, the blood sugar of a person with type 1 diabetes can be either too high or too low a lot of the time.
Type 2 Diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. In this type of diabetes, the pancreas still produces insulin, but it does not produce enough or it has trouble using it. Type 2 diabetes usually develops in adults over 35 years old, and especially in those who are overweight. But recently type 2 diabetes has begun to appear more in children and teenagers, as more and more of them are becoming overweight.

Type 1: insulin dependent diabetes- Type 1 is auto-immune and is when the body doesn’t produce enough insulin beta cells in the pancreas. ( People with type 1 have to inject Insulin.)
Type 2: non-insulin dependent diabetes- Most common type. Made by insulin resistance and insulin deficiency. Genetic but is found in people with excessive weight, poor diet and high blood pressure.(People with type 2 have to change diets, exercise, and may need insulin injections later.)
The difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes is that in Type 1 there is no insulin or beta cells being made in the pancreas, as with Type 2 there is deficiency in the making of Insulin caused by poor living habits.
Hope I helped. : )

type 1 will be found in children because they are born with it and it’s usually passed on. type 2 affects adults and comes on later in life due to bad habits, maybe family history, and other health factors, AND there is Gestational Diabetes which is brought on by pregnancy and usually disappears by delivering baby. type 1 is the only one basically not brought on by choices. the body has the same problem with both and both are treated the same, it’s just how it’s "gotten" thats different. That’s nutshell, obviously there is in depth study you could do. http://www.diabetes.org.
