Type 1 diabetes is usually first diagnosed in children or young adults; it arises when the immune system interferes with the ability of the pancreas to make insulin. Type 2 diabetes can develop at any age, though it is especially common among older individuals; it is an induced insulin resistance, typically associated with excess weight and inactivity. Type 2 diabetes is by far the more common form of diabetes. Records from a diabetes clinic in the United Kingdom show the status (still alive or dead) of patients with long-term diabetes as a function of their diabetes type.’
