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

What are the classifications of being diabetic?

The principal two idiopathic forms of diabetes mellitus are known as types 1 and 2. The term "type�1 diabetes" has universally replaced several former terms, including childhood-onset diabetes, juvenile diabetes, and insulin-dependent diabetes. Likewise, the term "type�2 diabetes" has replaced several former terms, including adult-onset diabetes, obesity-related diabetes, and non-insulin-dependent diabetes. Beyond these two types, there is no agreed-upon standard nomenclature. Various sources have defined "type 3 diabetes" as, among others, gestational diabetes, insulin-resistant type�1 diabetes (or "double diabetes"), type�2 diabetes which has progressed to require injected insulin, and latent autoimmune diabetes of adults. There is also maturity onset diabetes of the young which is a group of several single gene (monogenic) disorders with strong family histories that present as type�2 diabetes before 30 years of age.
