"TYPE 1 DIABETES
Definition: Beta cells in pancreas are being attacked by body's own cells and therefore can't produce insulin to take sugar out of the blood stream. Insulin is not produced.
Diagnosis: Genetic, environmental and auto-immune factors, idiopathic
Warning Signs: Increased thirst & urination, constant hunger, weight loss, blurred vision and extreme tiredness, glycouria
Commonly Afflicted Groups: Children/teens

TYPE 2 DIABETES
Definition: Diet related insulin release is so large and frequent that receptor cells have become less sensitive to the insulin. This insulin resistance results in less sugar being removed from the blood.
Diagnosis: Genetic, obesity (central adipose), physical inactivity, high/low birth weight, GDM, poor placental growth, metabolic syndrome
Warning Signs: Feeling tired or ill, frequent urination (especially at night), unusual thirst, weight loss, blurred vision, frequent infections and slow wound healing, asymptomatic
Commonly Afflicted Groups: Adults, elderly, certain ethnic groups"
