Read each sentence and decide whether it describes type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, or both. Drag the terms on the left to the appropriate blanks on the right to complete the sentences. In diabetes, target cells do not respond normally to insulin. In diabetes, glucose levels remain higher than normal.

The correct answer is:

1. In type 2 diabetes, target cells do not respond normally to insulin.

2. In type 1diabetes, no insulin is produced.

3. In both type 1 and type 2diabetes, glucose levels remain higher than normal.

Explanation:

Diabetes is a disease in which high blood glucose levels occur persistently or chronically. There are two fundamental types of diabetes: Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM1) and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM2). These two types of diabetes differ in the causes that cause them, the symptoms, the characteristics, the treatment, and the age of the people it affects.

Type 1 diabetes (DM1):

In this type of diabetes, the patient's own immune system produces a destruction of the beta cells of the pancreas, which causes a total insulin deficiency. Insulin is the hormone that allows the glucose in food to pass into the body's cells. The onset of type 1 diabetes cannot be prevented and the causes that cause it are unknown. It is characterized by being chronic, since once it has appeared, the disease does not remit and requires a lifelong treatment. People diagnosed with type 1 diabetes must have daily insulin injections or be connected to an insulin pump to be able to maintain adequate control of their blood sugar levels.

Type 2 diabetes (DM2):

Although type 2 diabetes can affect people of any age, including children, it develops most often in adults and the elderly. Obesity and a sedentary life are, among others, some of the factors that can cause this type of diabetes. Most people with type 2 diabetes can produce insulin, but not in sufficient amounts that the body needs for proper functioning.
