Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Type 1 diabetes involves a decrease in insulin production due to the autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. However, in type 2 diabetes, insulin levels can be normal or even elevated, especially in the early stages. The main problem in type 2 diabetes is insulin resistance, where the body's cells do not respond effectively to insulin.
