Type-I diabetes, also acknowledged as insulin-dependent diabetes, or juvenile diabetes (this name is not adequate as type II diabetes can become insulin-dependent), It is the impaired production of insulin by the pancreas believed to be caused because of devastation of cells of the islets of Langerhans by autoantibodies (autoimmunity). Type II diabetes takes place in the adult individual and it is generally diagnosed in people of greater age. In type II diabetes there is usual or low secretion of insulin by the pancreas except the main reason of the high glycemia is the peripheral resistance of the cells to the act of the hormone.
