That was the short version.
Type 2 is when the fat cells are not able to reduce the sugar levels fast enough (most likely because there is just too much sugar in the blood) and the insulin producing cells try to compensate that by producing even more insulin and this happens so often that they wear out.
Type 1 is everything else: There are people born with broken insulin producing cells, others kill them by their own immune system, virus infections can break them too and so on.
