In type 1 diabetes, the body does not produce insulin. The body breaks down the sugars and starches you eat into a simple sugar called glucose, which it uses for energy. ]]> 2016-11-30 20:17:25 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_gillman/uago32ia6nah/wish/140957178 amanda_gillman https://padlet.com/amanda_gillman/uago32ia6nah/wish/140957450 If you have type 2 diabetes your body does not use insulin properly. This is called insulin resistance. At first, your pancreas makes extra insulin to make up for it. But, over time it isn't able to keep up and can't make enough insulin to keep your blood glucose at normal levels. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form. ]]> 2016-11-30 20:18:22 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_gillman/uago32ia6nah/wish/140957450 amanda_gillman https://padlet.com/amanda_gillman/uago32ia6nah/wish/140957676 Type 1 diabetes is where your body does not produce any insulin at all.

It is usually the first medication prescribed for type 2 diabetes. It works by improving the sensitivity of your body tissues to insulin so that your body uses insulin more effectively. Metformin also lowers glucose production in the liver.
