Question 1 • Biology, VIA Fall 2026, Lstrange@sdale.org
Answer:
Type 1 diabetes occurs when the body does not produce any insulin; it is typically diagnosed in children and is relatively rare. In contrast, type 2 diabetes is the most common form of the disease. In type 2, the body still produces insulin, but the cells do not recognize it or respond to it properly, or the body does not produce enough insulin to maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
