Diabetes type 1 and type 2 come from different causes 👩🏽⚕️
Type 1 diabetes occurs when the pancreas is unable to produce insulin.
Type 2 diabetes occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body does not effectively use the insulin that is produced..
NB: ❗️Insulin helps blood sugar enter the cells in your body for use as energy. Without insulin, blood sugar can't get into cells and builds up in the bloodstream.
▫️If you have type 1 diabetes, you'll need to use insulin to treat your diabetes. 💉
▫️If you have Type 2 diabetes, you may have to use insulin or tablets, though you might initially be able to treat your diabetes by eating well and moving more.
Hope this helps in understanding the two type of diabetes 🤗
