Diabetes is a disease that occurs when a

person’s body doesn’t make enough of the

hormone insulin or can’t use insulin properly.

There are 2 types of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes

occurs when your body’s pancreas doesn’t

produce any insulin. Type 2 diabetes occurs

when the pancreas either doesn’t produce

enough insulin or your body’s cells ignore the

insulin.



Type 1 diabetes is also called insulin-dependent diabetes. It is sometimes

called juvenile diabetes because it is

usually discovered in children and

teenagers, but adults may also have it.

Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body

doesn’t produce enough insulin or the

body’s cells ignore the insulin.

NONE of the following symptoms:
