Reduce Your Diabetes Risk

Although Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are related to insulin, they have different causes and treatments. The main difference is that Type 1 diabetes is a genetic disorder, and Type 2 diabetes is typically caused by diet and lifestyle and develops over time. Start taking steps to lower your risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
