What is the main difference between Type I and Type II diabetes?
What is the main difference between Type I and Type II diabetes?
- Type I can occur at any age, while Type II usually occurs in children.
- Type I is caused by insulin resistance, while Type II is caused by autoimmune destruction of beta cells.
- Type I is characterized by gradual loss of insulin secretion, while Type II is caused by genetic factors.
- Type I is an autoimmune destruction of beta cells, while Type II involves a relative deficiency in endogenous insulin due to increased insulin resistance. (correct)
