There are many differences between Type 1 and 2 Diabetes. Type 1 is where the body cannot produce enough insulin to regulate sugar in the body, it typically affects 5-25 year olds and there is no cure but it can be managed with insulin, diet and exercise. Type 2 is where the body regularly has more insulin than it can handle, it is caused by poor diet and lack of exercise and can affect any age group; again it cannot be cured but can be treated and with good diet and exercise can go into remission.

What percent are kids likely to get diabetes when a parent has diabetes?
You have a 50% chance of getting diabetes if either your father or mother have Type 1 Diabetes. If one of them has Type 2, that has nothing to do with you and nothing gets passed on between your parents to you. [This is not strictly true. Type 2 diabetes does appear to have some genetic component, in that people with one or both parents who have Type 2 diabetes have a higher incidence of Type 2 diabetes than the population as a whole, but the exact causative factor is still under investigation, and it is unlikely to prove entirely genetic.]

Multivitamin supplements are general supplements used to make sure that one has the recommended daily intake of vitamins and minerals, in case one's diet is lacking in them. Supplements that are marketed as "diabetes supplements" are meant for diabetes only. Common supplements marketed as diabetes supplements include: ALA, Chromium, Omega-3s, and antioxidants. Currently, there is no scientific evidence that diabetes supplements are effective. One should never replace their diabetes mediation, such as insulin, with any type of supplement.
