Detailed explanation-1: -Type 2 diabetes: What’s the difference? Type 2 diabetes is not the same as Type 1 diabetes. In Type 1 diabetes, your pancreas doesn’t make any insulin. In Type 2, your pancreas doesn’t make enough insulin, and the insulin it is making doesn’t always work as it should.

Detailed explanation-2: -The main difference between the type 1 and type 2 diabetes is that type 1 diabetes is a genetic condition that often shows up early in life, and type 2 is mainly lifestyle-related and develops over time. With type 1 diabetes, your immune system is attacking and destroying the insulin-producing cells in your pancreas.

Detailed explanation-3: -Diabetes type 1 and type 2 come from different causes: In diabetes type 1, the pancreas does not make insulin, because the body’s immune system attacks the islet cells in the pancreas that make insulin. In diabetes type 2, the pancreas makes less insulin than used to, and your body becomes resistant to insulin.

Detailed explanation-4: -Type 2 diabetes does not progress to type 1 diabetes as they are two different conditions. Treatment for type 2 diabetes may go from diet and exercise to oral medications to non-insulin injectables and eventually to insulin injections over time.
