Type 1 vs. Type 2 Diabetes

When the pancreas does not create insulin, type 1 diabetes develops. Usually it develops in children and young adults, and it often progresses quickly.

When your body doesn't produce enough insulin or your body can’t use insulin properly, too much sugar stays in your blood. If those levels get high enough, the condition is called type 2 diabetes.

Learn more about the differences between type 1 and type 2 diabetes and the treatments available for each.
