What are types of Diabetes?

Diabetes is most common disease among all nations. This disease is not caused by any infection and organism. This is caused mainly by changes in basic function and hormonal changes in our body. This is mainly due to changes in sugar metabolism in our body. Insulin is hormone responsible for proper metabolism of sugar in our body. There is tow types based upon insulin availability and insulin resistance in our body. This is very short discussion on this topic and more deep discussion is possible but I here only discuss two main types of disease and their pathology. Insulin is secreted by pancreas and beta cells in Islet of Langerhans in pancreas. if there is no secretion then there is 
sugar metabolic problem. Lets come to the point and discuss two types of Diabetes. 
  1. IDDM-  Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. This is also called as type 1 diabetes. This is caused due to deficiency in secretion of insulin hormone in body by pancreas. There is no secretion of insulin at all. Due to this sugar is not metabolized in our body and this is condition of diabetes. There is insulin in only option for treatment.
  2. NIDDM - Non insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. This is also called as type 2 diabetes. This is caused due to insulin resistance in our body. This disease is caused by barrier in consuming this hormone. This is treated by some drugs that reduces resistance. insulin is produced in body but not consumed is condition for this type. There should be brief discussion related to symptoms and management and drug related but we here just discussed about what are main types and what is basis of this type and what is brief story behind this type.
