Diabetes is the most common metabolic disease in Finland: about 500,000 Finns have type 2 diabetes and about 50,000 have type 1 diabetes. In addition, it is estimated that more than 100,000 Finns have type 2 diabetes without knowing it. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the pancreas stops producing insulin. In type 2 diabetes, the effect of insulin is reduced, and risk factors include excess weight, physical inactivity and hereditary predisposition.
