not a doctor so you can't take my answer to the bank, but i believe that it is the hormone insulin that is made by the pancreas to help regulate blood sugar. I thought that type 1 was when the body doesn't make enough or any insulin at all and that you have to regulate blood sugar with insulin injections.

Insulin. In Type 1 diabetes mellitus, the cells of the pancreas produce little or no insulin to regulate blood glucose level appropriately. It can occur at any age, but usually starts in people younger than 30. It also has a strong genetic link.

Insulin is deficient in type 1 diabetics. In type 2 diabetes, your body still produces insulin, but there is a resistence to its effects.
