What is type 1 and type 2 diabetes?
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease. It occurs when the insulin-producing islet cells in the pancreas are completely destroyed, so the body can't produce any insulin. In type 2 diabetes, the islet cells are still working. However, the body is resistant to insulin.Last updated on 04 Jul 2025
