   Generally speaking, there are two main types of diabetes. They are commonly known as Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes. The Type 1 diabetes is often called insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus or IIDM as it results from the body's failure to produce insulin, and often requires the patient to inject insulin. On the other hand, the Type 2 diabetes is a non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, or NIDDM. This is a condition that occurs due to insulin resistance in which the body cells fail to use insulin properly and is often coupled with an absolute insulin deficiency.

   
   

   The symptoms of Type 1 diabetes include:
