![Learn more about the differences between type 1 and type 2 diabetes.](https://www.thisistype1.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/episode-244-mvp-differences-types-1-and-2-featured-1024x512.png)
This episode really focuses on the differences of both type 1 and 2 while giving a short lesson on how the pancreas works.
But the main difference is that type 1 is permanent and type 2 is usually reversible. They are also completely different mechanisms, meaning type 1 is an autoimmune condition while type 2 is a metabolic condition.
We explain more about this and talk about what insulin therapy is and what treatment type 2s usually need.
