There are two different types of diabetes: Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 Diabetes is usually diagnosed in children and very young adults. Type 1 Diabetes differs from Type 2 in that a person with Type 1 Diabetes does not produce insulin at all.
Insulin is needed to take sugar from the blood into the cells. Type 1 diabetes used to be called Juvenile Diabetes as it was diagnosed in children at early ages. The symptoms of Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes are very similar. Frequent urination, frequent thirst, excessive hunger are three of the most common symptoms.

Vitamin A was first discovered back in 1912, by a Polish biochemist named Casimir Funk. He came up with the word vitamine, which was later given the name vitamin.
