DIABETES AND IMMUNE SYSTEM
When you have Type 1 diabetes, certain types of islet cells no longer make enough insulin, because they’ve been attacked by the body’s immune system. All people with Type 1 diabetes must take insulin. Type 2 diabetes is a result of the body becoming resistant to insulin. This is usually caused by a combination of genetic and lifestyle factors, including obesity and lack of physical activity.
