Diabetes is diagnosed when a person’s pancreas is unable to produce insulin properly.
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by the destruction of the cells required to make insulin, a hormone that regulates the amount sugar in the blood. Whereas, Type 2 diabetes results from the gradual loss of insulin-producing cells or resistance to insulin throughout the body.
