Health Lesson: Diabetes can be very harmful, that is why you have to make wise eating choices and exercise daily. The two types of Diabetes can be very harmful to the body. Type 1 Diabetes is usually diagnosed to younger children or young adults. In Type 1 Diabetes does not produce insulin in the body. Insulin is a hormone to covert sugar, starches, and other food into energy for daily life. Type 2 Diabetes does not allow the body to produce insulin.
