Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in children and young adults, and was previously known as juvenile diabetes. Only 5% of people with diabetes have this form of the disease.
Type 1 diabetes mellitus is characterized by loss of the insulin-producing beta cells of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas, leading to insulin deficiency. This type can be further classified as immune-mediated or idiopathic. Type 2 DM begins with insulin resistance, a condition in which cells fail to respond to insulin properly. 2  As the disease progresses a lack of insulin may also develop. 3  This form was previously referred to as non insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) or adult-onset diabetes.
