Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -People with type 2 diabetes don’t respond to insulin as well as they should and later in the disease often don’t make enough insulin. You can think of it as having a broken key. Both types of diabetes can lead to chronically high blood sugar levels. That increases the risk of diabetes complications.
Detailed explanation-3: -However, people with type 1 are more prone to hypoglycemia than people with type 2 and less likely to have cardiac issues. People with type 2 diabetes often already have risk factors related to cardiovascular disease when they are diagnosed, such as obesity or high cholesterol.
