Answer:

Type 1 and type 2 diabetes are the two primary kinds of the disease. We are aware that neither type 1 diabetes nor anything else related to your lifestyle may be caused by sugar. Your immune system kills the insulin-producing cells in your pancreas when you have type 1 diabetes.

In other words:

There are two types of diabetes: Type 1, and Type 2. Type 1 diabetes is the inability to produce enough (or in some cases, any) insulin. Insulin is a hormone that causes your cells to consume the glucose that is in your blood. If your body cannot consume or store the glucose in your blood, your blood sugar will rise to dangerous levels very quickly. A good way to increase your blood sugar is to eat simple carbs like sugar, or white rice, and bread.

Type 2 diabetes is a condition wherein your pancreas produces so much insulin so often that your body develops a tolerance to it. In response to this you must produce even more insulin to produce the same blood sugar reducing effect. Eventually your body will demand more insulin than your pancreas can make, and you will lose the ability to regulate your blood sugar. The chronic consumption of simple carbs such as sugar, white rice, and bread, as well as excessive body fat are significant risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Diabetes are a disorder of carbohydrate metabolism, usually occurring in genetically predisposed individuals, characterized by inadequate production or utilization of insulin and resulting in excessive amounts of glucose in the blood and urine, excessive thirst, weight loss, and in some cases progressive destruction of small blood vessels leading to such complications as infections and gangrene of the limbs or blindness.
