There are three main types of diabetes, there is Type I, this has been known in the past as juvenile diabetes and is an insulin dependent type of diabetes. This is known as juvenile diabetes because it normally is diagnosed during childhood, teen years or young adulthood. The body is no longer making insulin as the bata cells in the pancreas have been attacked by the body’s immune system and been destroyed.

There is also Type II diabetes, this referred to as adult onset diabetes and is a non-insulin form of diabetes. This is a form of diabetes that can develop at any age. In this form of diabetes the fat, muscle and liver cells resist insulin and do not use it properly.
