a
b
c
d

Explanation:

• Option A: Type 2 diabetes is more common than type 1 diabetes. Type 1 is an autoimmune disease where the body attacks insulin - producing cells in the pancreas. Type 2 is often related to lifestyle factors (like diet and lack of exercise) and insulin resistance.
• Option B: Some people with type 2 diabetes may have mild symptoms or no symptoms at first, so they can live with it unknowingly for a while.
• Option C: Diabetes can cause long - term complications such as kidney damage (nephropathy), eye problems (retinopathy), and nerve damage (neuropathy), which affect organs other than the pancreas.
• Option D: Lifestyle changes like a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management can help avoid or delay type 2 diabetes.

Answer:

A. Research shows that there are more cases of type 1 diabetes than of type 2.
