What's the difference between diabetes type 1 and diabetes type 2?
assistant
Diabetes type 1 is an autoimmune disorder in which the body is unable to produce insulin. It is also known as juvenile diabetes as it usually develops during childhood or adolescence. Type 2 diabetes, on the other hand, is a metabolic disorder resulting from the body's inability to use the insulin it produces properly. Type 2 diabetes is often referred to as adult-onset diabetes, as it usually affects adults over the age of 40, although it can also be developed in children and adolescents.
