Diabetes is not one disease. We normally say, oh, well, I have diabetes, or so-and-so. Your diabetes could be completely different than your neighbor's diabetes. Your diabetes could be completely different even within the family, your parents or grandparents. So your body's biology dictates what kind of diabetes you have.
