Type 1 Diabetes is less common than Type 2, but not necessarily worse. Type 1 diabetes requires the injection of insulin on a regular daily basis. Due to improvements in medical technology, the needles used for this purpose are now extremely fine (very small) to the point that you hardly feel the sting of the needle, if at all. Both forms of diabetes are easily treatable, requiring minimal lifestyle changes, compared to a decade ago.
