Type 1 is seen at a very young age.The panrceas in these people is unable to produce any insulin and so they have to depend on insulin injections for life.Type 2 is seen much later in life,say after 30 years age.In these people,there is insufficient production of insulin or the body is unable to utilize the available insulin.A doctor specialising in diabetes will prescribe medicines os insulin injections depending on your condition.With proper care,you can live comfortably even with this condition.
