| Difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes: |
|
Definition
| Type 1 is where the body’s immune system attacks cells in the pancreas (which makes the insulin). In Type 2, either the pancreas is not making enough insulin, the cells are not properly responding to the insulin (known as insulin resistance), or in some cases, both. It is possible to prevent and delay Type 2 diabetes through a healthy diet and a regular exercise. This is because a healthy diet and regular exercise speeds up the process in which glucose is processed. |
