DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TYPE I AND TYPE II DIABETES

insulin-producing cells in your pancreas. Type 1 is managed by taking insulin to control your
blood sugar, while in type ii diabetes You can manage it in more ways than type 1. These
include through medication, exercise and diet. People with type 2 can also be prescribed
insulin.
