Revise: Type 1 and Type 2 DiabetesIn diabetes, a problem with insulin means that blood glucose concentration becomes too high. The two main types share this result, but the underlying problems differ.

Being overweight increases the risk of type 2 diabetes; it is not its only cause, and not everyone with type 2 diabetes is overweight.
