Diabetes comes in two forms, both of which are incurable. Type 1 Diabetes occurs when the pancreas fails to secrete insulin. It usually occurs during childhood and is only treatable with the injection of insulin, along with various adjustments to your diet and lifestyle. Type two diabetes usually begins later in life and is most typically treated through dietary changes and medication.
