The main difference between the type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus is that type 1 diabetes mellitus has a complete deficiency of required amount of insulin and type 2 diabetes mellitus is caused by insulin resistance (insulin deficiency can also occur in varying amount, but is not the primary cause). Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that leads to a destruction of the beta cells of the pancreas.
