Ira Pastor comments:
The global economic cost of diabetes was estimated in 2018 to be over US$750 billion.
Type 1 diabetes (T1D), is a form of diabetes in which very little or no insulin is produced by the pancreas. While the cause of type 1 diabetes is still unknown.
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) involves insulin resistance, a condition in which cells fail to respond to insulin properly.
