Type 1 Diabetes

While Type 1 diabetes “usually” develops in children, recent studies confirm that people of all ages can develop Type1 diabetes.

In Type 1 diabetes, the pancreas in the body does not make insulin or makes very little insulin. Insulin helps blood sugar enter the cells in your body for use as energy.
Without insulin, blood sugar can’t get into cells and instead flows in the bloodstream. High blood sugar is damaging to the body and causes many of the symptoms and complications of diabetes.


With the help of daily insulin therapy, everyone can learn to manage Type 1 really well and live long, healthy lives. Work with your doctor to figure out the most effective type and dosage of insulin for you.

Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes—and it means that your body doesn’t use insulin properly. While some people can control their blood glucose levels with healthy eating and exercise, others may need medication or insulin to help manage their condition.

Diet and fitness are considered important factors in the management of Type 2 diabetes.
