    Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes differ in their causes, percentages of people affected, and treatments. Type 1 diabetes is caused by the body not producing enough insulin and affects 5% of people with diabetes, requiring daily insulin doses for treatment. Type 2 diabetes is caused by cells not responding properly to insulin and affects 95% of people with diabetes, treated through medication, diet, exercise, and sometimes insulin injections. While Type 1 cannot be prevented as it is an autoimmune disease, Type 2 diabetes can be prevented by maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
