Well, Diabetes happens when your pancreas stops working. When you have Type 1 Diabetes (like me), your pancreas makes no insulin at all. Most people take shots or use an insulin pump. Type 1 Diabetes can not go away. This type usually happens in children. Type 2 Diabetes usually happens in adults. Sometimes Type 2 Diabetes can go away. Most people who have Type 2 can lose weight to end their Diabetes. Most people with this usually take pills instead of shots. :) Hope this helps... :P

Type 1 diabetes is when your pancreas doesn't work and you have to have an inculhin injection to keep your blood sugar levels even. And you have to prick your finger to check the levels of your blood.

Type 2 diabetes is when the pancreas is still working but not efficiently so you can either take tablets or watch your intake of sugars. Eventually type 2 diabetes will probably turn into type 1 diabetes.

Hope this helps xxx
