What is the difference between diabetes 1 and 2?

The main difference between the two types of diabetes is that type 1 diabetes is a genetic disorder that often shows up early in life, and type 2 is largely diet-related and develops over time. If you have type 1 diabetes, your immune system is attacking and destroying the insulin-producing cells in your pancreas.

What is a high insulin level?

Your insulin levels are considered normal if they’re under 25 mIU/L during a fasting test.
