Type 1 diabetes (beta cell destruction, usually leading to absolute insulin deficiency) |
- Immune-mediated
|
- Idiopathic
|
Type 2 diabetes (may range from predominantly insulin resistance with relative insulin deficiency to a predominantly secretory defect with insulin resistance) |

Patients with any form of diabetes may require insulin treatment at some stage of their disease. Such use of insulin does not, of itself, classify the patient. |
