JDRF's Differences Between Type 1 and 2 Diabetes

I went on the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) website and found their definition for the difference of type 1 and type 2 Diabetes.  This should help tell the difference between the two.  JDRF describes the differences of the two types by saying
“Diabetes is a chronic, debilitating disease affecting every organ system. There are two major types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which a person's pancreas stops producing insulin, a hormone that enables people to get energy from food. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas. While its causes are not yet entirely understood, scientists believe that both genetic factors and environmental triggers are involved.  Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorder in which a person's body still produces insulin but is unable to use it effectively.”
Also type 1 diabetes is the type when a person is born with it, while type 2 people generally get when they become over weight.
