Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are often grouped together—but they are fundamentally different conditions. And understanding that difference matters more than most people realize.

In this episode, Sharon breaks down what truly separates the two. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the body stops producing insulin entirely, requiring lifelong insulin therapy. Type 2 diabetes, on the other hand, develops over time as the body becomes resistant to insulin—often influenced by lifestyle and genetics.

She explains why confusing the two leads to misinformation, stigma, and missed opportunities for proper management. Most importantly, she highlights how treatment approaches differ—and why both conditions deserve clarity, not judgment.

Because the right information leads to the right decisions.
