Type 1 diabetes is caused by genetic predisposition. It is early-onset and tends to develop in those under the age of 20. The body is unable to produce a sufficient amount of insulin. The patient hence needs daily injections of insulin or a beta cell transplant.On the other hand, Type 2 diabetes is linked with unhealthy lifestyle factors. It is adult-onset and tends to occur in those over the age of 40. The body becomes unresponsive to insulin. Due to not enough receptors on target cells, these cells become not as sensitive to insulin. Type 2 diabetes needs to be controlled with a healthy diet, regular exercise, weight loss and medication.
