The basic cause of type 1 diabetes is an insufficient supply of insulin
from the pancreas caused by an autoimmune disorder. What triggers the

the body is not using the hormone efficiently—a condition known as
insulin resistance. In type 2 diabetes, there are increased levels of insulin
in the blood as well as sugar.
