For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.T1DM is the loss of insulin producing cells within the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas, which in turn leads to an insulin deficiency. This loss is almost always due to an autoimmune attack and consequent autoimmune antibodies.
T2DM on the other hand is more an insulin resistance, the body seemingly less responsive to the insulin produced within the body, a failure of insulin receptors, for as yet unspecified reasons...

Lazygun's description will be more scientific than mime:
Type 1 diabetes......body produces antibodies against it's own Insulin producinc cells and destroys them.
Type 2 diabetes.....either so much fat around the blood vessels of the pancreas that it blocks the movement of Insulin into the blood stream
OR.....the body cells do not respond to the Insulin.
It seems that ummmm and cazz have got little constructive to offer......

Sqad - tell me that you were more tactful and approachable when you were a GP. My doctor once (jokingly I think) threatened to get me put to sleep.
I have always been insulin intolerance but over the years have put on tons and tons of weight (the Lithium tabs can take some of the blame) and am now at a stage where my back hurts when I try to walk. I am in a major rut both mentally and physically.
