Which statement correctly compares type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes?
In both types, the blood glucose concentration can rise too high.
Type 1 is treated with diet only; type 2 always needs insulin injections.
In type 1, cells stop responding to insulin; in type 2, no insulin is made.
Both types are caused by eating too much sugar over a long time.
