Types of diabetes
Type 1 diabetes: insulin-dependent
Type 1 diabetes is a chronic, autoimmune disease characterized by an excess of sugar (glucose) in the blood, known as hyperglycemia.
This hyperglycemia occurs when the pancreas no longer produces insulin. It is particularly common in children and adolescents.
Type 2 diabetes:
Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. It occurs in adulthood, when the body develops a resistance to insulin, aggravated by overweight, obesity and a sedentary lifestyle.
