With Type 1 diabetes

you need insulin every day,

you're body can't produce it

so an injection is one way.

With Type 2 diabetes

diet and weight are checked,

also physical activity, 

things you cannot neglect.

Diabetes occurs when the body is unable to make insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. There are two main types of this condition, diabetes 1 and diabetes 2, with type 2 being the most common. In the UK it is estimated that 90% of those with diabetes will have type 2. Diabetes 1, which is insulin dependent, occurs when the body's immune system attacks the cells that provide insulin which prevents them from working so insulin injections are needed, attention to diet is a must. Type 2 is when the body doesn't produce enough insulin, this can often be associated with obesity, there isn't any cure for this although a healthy diet and regular exercise can be beneficial, in time medication may be needed.
