Question

how are type 1 and type 2 diabetes different?
(1 point)
○ in type 1, the body makes no insulin.
○ in type 1, the cause is only from a poor diet.
○ in type 2, the body makes too much insulin.
○ in type 2, the body is cured by special medicine.

Explanation:

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system attacks and destroys the insulin - producing cells in the pancreas, resulting in no insulin production. Type 2 diabetes is mainly due to insulin resistance (cells don't respond well to insulin) and relative insulin deficiency (the body doesn't produce enough insulin to overcome the resistance). Poor diet is more associated with Type 2 diabetes risk factors (but not the only cause for Type 2). In Type 2, the body doesn't make too much insulin - initially it may produce more to compensate for resistance, but over time production may decline. There is no "cure" for Type 2 diabetes with special medicine - management involves lifestyle changes, medications, etc.

Answer:

In Type 1, the body makes no insulin.
