Detailed explanation-1: -Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a T-cell mediated autoimmune disease in which destruction of pancreatic -cells causes insulin deficiency which leads to hyperglycemia and a tendency to ketoacidosis. Excesses glucose levels must be managed by exogenous insulin injections several times a day.
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: -T2D is characterized by insufficient secretion of insulin from the -cells of the pancreatic islets, coupled with impaired insulin action in target tissues such as muscle, liver and fat (a condition termed insulin resistance).
