Types of Diabetes • Type 1 diabetes • Type 2 diabetes Causes of diabetes • Type 1 diabetes is caused by the malfunction of antibodies that kill insulin cells in the pancreas instead of targeting foreign bacteria or viruses. This usually happens in children. • Type 2 diabetes is caused when the insulin cells do not perform their function of transporting glucose. Symptoms of diabetes • With type 1, there is no insulin secretion. Usually occurs in early childhood. • With type 2, there is insulin secretion but high levels of glucose in the blood.
