Type 1 vs. type 2 diabetes: What’s the difference and why does it matter?
Type 1 diabetes occurs when the pancreas stops producing insulin, while Type 2 diabetes involves insulin resistance despite insulin production. The CDC reports 90-95% of diabetes cases are Type 2, often linked to overweight and lifestyle factors. Treatments differ, with Type 1 requiring insulin and Type 2 using medications or lifestyle changes.
