Type 1 is caused by a damaged (infected) pancreas which normaly produces the insuline to reduce a to high glucose. This type is irreversable, and you have to inject insuline for life.
Type 2 is caused by the fact that the cells that normally get their fuel from the glucose don't react so well to it anymore because they got kinda oversaturated by logtime high glucose levels (overweight and not enough body exercise can play a role here). So insuline is still produced in this case.
Losing weight and getting a fit body helps in this situation, some people get as good as cured.
Type 3 occurs during pregnancy and will go away.
Type 4 is caused by some (car)accident where the pancreas got damaged
