 Types of Diabetes

Type1: The body does not produces any insulin because of hormonal in balence, people with diabetes type1 must take insulin to stay alive,

Type2: The body does not produce any insulin because the pancreas has broke down, making it difficult to control the blood sugar or to utilize the sugar in the body. Most people with diabetes have type2 diabetes.
