Diabetes happens everywhere in your body.
To be precise, however, it depends on the type of diabetes.
Diabetes is typically divided into two types:
1 - which is the insulin dependent.
2 - which is non-insulin dependent.
We now know that there are many types of diabetes, but these are the two simplified types.
Type one, which was insulin dependent, typically happens in your pancreas - the organ which produces and secretes insulin. From various reasons the pancreas cannot itself produce insulin, and thus diabetes is developed.
Type two, which was non-insulin dependent diabetes (NIDD), typically happens on cellular level in many of the bodies cells. Due to various reasons these cells do not respond at all (or at least not very well) to insulin, and thusly they cannot absorb blood-sugar. As a result of this, diabetes is developed.
So to sum up:
- Both types affect the whole body
- Type 1 is caused in the pancreas
- Type 2 is caused on cellular level many places in the body.

Can you beborn with diabetes?
People with Type One Diabetes (or Juvenile Diabetes) are NOT always born with it. Type One Diabetes is an autoimmune disorder where the body has attacked its own insulin producing cells, leaving the body unable to produce insulin and therefore unable to regulate the blood sugar levels in the body. While this autoimmune disorder occurs most often during the years of childhood, it can happen at any point in a person's life, resulting in having Type One Diabetes. I have Type One Diabetes, and I was not born with it, but acquired it when I was 15 years old.
