What are the causes and types of diabetes?
Are there different types of diabetes?
Yes, there are two main types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system attacks the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by high blood sugar levels due to insulin resistance, in which the body is unable to use insulin properly.
