The following are excerpts from the booklet:

Symptoms
The symptoms are the same for Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. In Type 2 diabetes, the symptoms are sometimes so mild that they can remain unnoticed for years. Early screening can prevent the complications that result from diabetes...

Causes
Type 1 diabetes
The exact cause of Type 1 diabetes remains unknown. In most cases, the cells producing insulin in the pancreas are destroyed by the immune system. It is not known what triggers this immune system attack.

Type 2 diabetes
The causes of Type 2 diabetes are becoming better understood. There are multiple contributing factors, and in many cases, it¹s a combination that triggers the onset of the disease. To learn more, see the "Prevention of Type 2 Diabetes" section.
