A nurse is caring for two clients newly diagnosed with diabetes. One client has type 1 diabetes and the other client has type 2 diabetes. The nurse determines that the main difference between newly diagnosed type 1 and type 2 diabetes is that in type 1 diabetes:
1
Onset of the disease is typically rapid.
2
Insulin production is nearly absent or completely absent.
3
An autoimmune mechanism is involved in the destruction of pancreatic β-cells.
4
Environmental factors play a significant role in the disease's development.
