Autoimmune Dz: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (dm 1) is disease in which the beta cell of the pancreas, which produce insulin, have been destroyed by, usually in childhood. It is thought to be a result of the immune response of the body rather than the virus itself that does it. After onset, the patient no longer makes enough Insulin and will require Insulin for life.

Bad: It is a serious life long illness, requiring constant attention to diet and treatment with Insulin injections.

Question 8

is type 1 diabetes dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Can Be: Type 1 diabetes in the era before injectable Insulin was fatal within weeks or months. Today if unrecognised & untreated it can be. With recognition & treatment, a child, adolescent or adullt with t1dm can live a long and enjoyable life doing much of what everyone else can do.They generally learn how to do it safer & appreciate it more to boot.

Question 9

how can you get type 1 diabetes?

Accepted Answer

Nobody knows: Type 1 dm is an autoimmune disease occurring when an environmental trigger(s) sets off genes in the body to make antibodies against insulin-producing cells. Even with the genetic predisposition, there is only a 40% chance of getting diabetes.  If an identical twin has type 1 diabetes, the other won't necessarily get it.

Question 10

how do people get type 1 diabetes?

Accepted Answer

Quirky antibodies: T1dm is the endpoint to a quirky reaction to a viral illness. The body makes antibodies to the virus which chases them off, but the antibodies linger & begin attacking the Insulin producing cells in your body. The antibodies eventually end your ability to make Insulin & you must use artificial Insulin to replace it.
