Type 1 diabetes is sometimes calledJuvenile diabetes, as it’s found often times in people under 20, but it can appear in any age. This type of diabetes affects the pancreas where beta cells create insulin. Beta cells are targeted by the bodies immune system, and this stops the bodies ability to make insulin.
In the case ofType 2 diabetes the factors are slightly different.
The human pancreas creates the hormone insulin, and that’s what lets your cells turn glucose from the food you eat into energy that it can use.
In those living with Type 2 diabetes their cells don’t use the glucose as well as it should, and doctors call this insulin resistance.
