Answer:

Type 2 diabetes, on the other hand, develops over time, and is much more common than Type 1. Among people with diabetes, 90 to 95 percent have Type 2 diabetes, according to the CDC. With Type 2 diabetes, your body's cells aren't as sensitive to insulin, so your pancreas has to make more insulin to produce the same effect.
