There are two types of diabetes. Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 is caused by genetics and is something that you're essentially born with, or develops due to illnesses such as pancreatic illnesses, and can only be treated with medications.

Both diseases are treatable and you can live with them, but Type 2 diabetes is something developed through a combination of lifestyle choices and genetics. The good news is that type 2 diabetes can often be controlled and eliminated through lifestyle choices, while type 1 diabetes has worst long-term consequences and must be controlled with drugs and other more serious interventions.
