There are two types of diabetes type 1, in which your pancreas cannot produce any insulin which is the hormone responsible for regulating your blood sugar levels due to genetic causes or autoimmune conditions, and type 2 diabetes, which is the most prevalent form of the disease where the pancreas produces enough insulin but the body cannot utilize it properly what is known as insulin resistance and this type of diabetes is mostly caused by modifiable risk factors like obesity, sedentary lifestyle, and bad eating habits so it can be prevented or at least you can delay its onset since it is becoming very common among obese children nowadays.
