What's the correct way to pronounce diabetes?
Actually, yes. Can you tell me what causes diabetes?
There are two main types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2. Type 1 diabetes occurs when the body's immune system attacks and destroys the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin, or when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin. Risk factors for type 2 diabetes include obesity, poor diet, and lack of physical activity.
