Type 1: Type 1 diabetes is
when there is no
insulin in the body. It
also tells about the
pancreas and on how
beta-cells produce.
because of this. This
normally leads to
increased blood and
urine glucose.

Type 2: Type 2 Diabetes is
when the body cells fail to
respond properly to the
insulin. This is normally
occurred because of the
reduction of exercise or an
non-balanced diet.

First Step is Fabrication of Mold, I selected SU8 and PUMA
Resin as mold material, extracting timing is under
progress now.

enough to remain structure after develop step and
