First of all I thank you for all the good information about diabetes medication. I want to know more about type 1 and type 2 diabetes. I know you said Oral medication is not used by type 1 diabetes patients, while it is common for type 2 diabetes patients to use diabetes medications. Could you please explain us in detail about what is type 1 and type 2 diabetes?
