Diabetes comes in many different forms. Most typically know about T1 (formerly known as juvenile) and T2 (formerly known as adult onset). These names have changed due to inconsistencies in when they can actually arise. T1 is the result of the pancreas not producing enough insulin. T2 is typically derived as the cells stop responding to insulin as they should. Eventually, the pancreas can stop producing insulin with T2 as well as it becomes overworked trying to compensate.
T2 is much more prevalent as it is tied to a sedentary lifestyle and being overweight. There is also a genetic factor involved making some people more likely to develop the disease than others. As with anything, proper diet and exercise can decrease your chances of developing the disease, but nothing is a guarantee.
