ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs either when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood glucose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Type 1 diabetes occurs when the body is unable to produce insulin. Insulin is a hormone that’s needed to control the amount of glucose (sugar) in your blood.

Detailed explanation-3: -In Type 1 diabetes, your pancreas doesn’t make any insulin. In Type 2, your pancreas doesn’t make enough insulin, and the insulin it is making doesn’t always work as it should. Both types are forms of diabetes mellitus, meaning they lead to hyperglycemia (high blood sugar).

Detailed explanation-4: -What Causes Type 1 Diabetes? Type 1 diabetes is thought to be caused by an autoimmune reaction (the body attacks itself by mistake). This reaction destroys the cells in the pancreas that make insulin, called beta cells. This process can go on for months or years before any symptoms appear.

Detailed explanation-5: -Diabetes is caused by insulin deficiency or insulin resistance. Diabetes mellitus is caused by a relative or absolute deficiency of insulin action. Hyperglycemia (abnormally elevated blood glucose) is the biochemical hallmark of diabetes mellitus, but the pathways of all major nutrients are deranged.
