Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks and destroys the insulin - producing beta cells in the pancreas, leading to a lack of insulin production. Type 2 diabetes is often associated with lifestyle factors. Over time, the body's cells become less responsive to insulin (insulin resistance), and the pancreas may not be able to produce enough insulin to overcome this resistance. Glucagon is a hormone that raises blood sugar levels. Glucagon resistance is not a common characteristic of either type of diabetes.
