Type 1 is observed at a very young age because the pancreatic cells that produce insulin are destroyed due to certain genetic issues.The person has to depend on insulin injections for life with close medical supervision.

Type 2 appear later in life,i.e after 30.The causes could be overweight,lack of physical exercise,genetic factors etc.

Symptoms are general lack of energy,excessive thirst,itchiness,frequent urination and even small wounds not healing quickly.
