Type one- the immune system attacks and disables the pancreas. Type two, due to various reasons, including fat blocking the action of the cell membranes, the pancreas still secretes insulin but not enough of it gets through to where it is needed. The first will need insulin for life to replace the missing supply, the second can be managed in various ways depending on the severity. May 25 06, 7:38 PM
