Diabetes is a condition where a person has higher blood sugar than normal. There are two types of diabetes, type 1 and type 2.
Type 1 diabetes, or insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus is caused by the pancreas failing to produce insulin, a hormone that tells the liver to stop releasing sugar into the blood stream.
Whereas type 2 diabetes, or non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, is caused when the liver cells fail to respond to the insulin in the blood stream.
So if didn't know what caused diabetes before, well now you know.
