💊Daily Pill: Type 1 Vs. Type 2 Diabetes

The Daily Pill is a series of very short daily posts where I share the definition of a medical term I think we should all know. Read it every morning and build up your medical vocabulary.
💊 Type 1 vs. Type 2 Diabetes
Both types of Diabetes are chronic condition characterized by high blood sugar levels due to issues with insulin.
Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. No insulin = No glucose management.
Type 2 Diabetes is a metabolic disorder that develops when the body becomes resistant to insulin and ignores the signal. No insulin response = No glucose management.
