Understand the two types of diabetes: Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the body does not produce insulin, while Type 2 diabetes is a condition where the body becomes resistant to insulin or does not produce enough insulin.
Recall that Type 1 diabetes typically requires insulin therapy because the body cannot produce insulin on its own.
Recognize that Type 2 diabetes can often be managed through lifestyle changes, such as a healthy diet and regular exercise, especially in its early stages.
Consider that while medication or insulin may be necessary for some individuals with Type 2 diabetes, many cases can be controlled without these interventions if proper lifestyle adjustments are made.
Conclude that the statement 'can be managed with diet and exercise' applies to Type 2 diabetes, as these are key strategies for managing this condition.
