What is the difference between type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes?

In many cases, we will often be confused with type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes, type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes will have some similar symptoms, but they still have the essential difference, we introduce a type the difference in the nature of diabetes and type 2 diabetes:
The difference between a: Type 2 diabetes in patients with underweight, eat drink much urine; patients with type 2 diabetes are overweight.
The difference between the two: Type 1 diabetes is more common in the onset of the population under 30 years of age is relatively low, the occurrence of disease is also more anxious; the incidence of type 2 diabetes population is relatively older more common in over 40 years of age, the incidence of the slow.
The difference: type 1 diabetes has obvious symptoms of "Chronicles", ie urine, drink more, eat more. And it is easy to determine the onset time. Type 2 diabetes no particularly obvious symptoms. Therefore, it is difficult to determine the time of onset of type 2 diabetes.
The difference: type 1 insulin sensitivity, patients must rely on outside insulin, oral hypoglycemic agents do not have any effect; type 2 insulin-dependent, can be treated by controlling the diet, oral hypoglycemic agents.
The difference: type 1 diabetes is increased in fasting blood insulin and C-peptide lower than normal, and eating; in patients with type 2 diabetes, fasting blood insulin and C-peptide is normal, increased or slightly increased but the peak value of delay after eating.
