Type 1 diabetes weight gain is common, and type 2 weight loss often occurs.

Type 1 diabetes leads to fewer complications than does type 2 diabetes.

Type 1 diabetes may be controlled by adjusting dietary intake and exercise, but type 2 diabetes requires insulin replacement.

Type 1 diabetes occurs more frequently in children and adolescents, and type 2 diabetes occurs more often in adults.
