SAN: use English-language websites to define the difference between type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes, and the kind of diet you should follow. Listen and write down the essential points 212
Type 1 diabetes: the body, especially the pancreas, doesn’t produce enough insulin. Type 2 diabetes: the body makes insulin but the insulin doesn’t do what it is supposed to do. You need a diet that helps you control the amounts of carbohydrate in your body. This will reduce the amount of glucose in the bloodstream. 212
