What is Type 1 diabetes?
With Type 1 diabetes the pancreas produces little to no insulin. Type 1 generally occurs at a younger age, but it can occur at any age. About 5% of individuals with diabetes have type 1 diabetes.
What is Type 2 diabetes?
With Type 2 diabetes, the pancreas is not producing adequate insulin or insulin is not working properly. About 95% of individuals with diabetes have type 2 diabetes.
