"My regular physician is very much a friend to me, so I feel comfortable going in and talking to her… I think that having that kind of relationship is very important for a person with diabetes or any disease. You need to trust your doctor, and trust yourself that you can ask questions."

‒ Elaine
Cleveland, OH

The exact causes of both types of diabetes are unknown. Type 1 diabetes tends to show up after exposure to a trigger, such as a virus, which can attack cells in the pancreas that make insulin. There is no one cause for Type 2 diabetes, but it seems to run in families, and most people who get it are overweight.
