BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -In one category, type 1 diabetes, the cause is an absolute deficiency of insulin secretion. Individuals at increased risk of developing this type of diabetes can often be identified by serological evidence of an autoimmune pathologic process occurring in the pancreatic islets and by genetic markers.

Detailed explanation-2: -With too little insulin, the body can no longer move glucose from the blood into the cells, causing high blood glucose levels. If the glucose level is high enough, excess glucose spills into the urine. This drags extra water into the urine causing more frequent urination and thirst.

Detailed explanation-3: -Insulin is a key player in developing type 2 diabetes. This vital hormone-you can’t survive without it-regulates blood sugar (glucose) in the body, a very complicated process.

Detailed explanation-4: -This is primarily the cause of type 1 diabetes. It occurs when insulin-producing cells are damaged or destroyed and stop producing insulin. Insulin is needed to move blood sugar into cells throughout the body.
