"Life is not over because you have Diabetes. Make the most of what you have, be grateful "

 Type 1 diabetes can appear at any age, but it appears at two noticeable peaks. The first peak occurs in children between 4 and 7 years old. The second is in children between 10 and 14 years old. 

  In diabetes type 1, the pancreas does not make insulin, because the body's immune system attacks the islet cells in the pancreas that make insulin. 

 Type 2 Diabetes usually occurs later on in life and you are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes if you are not physically active and possibly overweight. Extra weight sometimes causes insulin resistance and is common in people with type 2 diabetes. The location of body fat also makes a difference.
