Type 1 diabetes.
People who have this type of diabetes need to take insulin every day. This type of diabetes used to be called juvenile diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes.
Diet and daily physical activity help to control type 2 diabetes. Most people also need to take diabetes pills or insulin. Type 2 diabetes is very common and used to be called adult onset diabetes.
Finding and treating diabetes early can prevent health problems later on. Many people with type 2 diabetes have no symptoms and do not know they have diabetes. Some people are at higher risk for diabetes than others. People at high risk include those who are older than 45, who are overweight , who have a close family member such as a parent, a brother, or a sister who has or had diabetes, who had diabetes during pregnancy and who had a baby that weight more than 9 pounds.
