GENERAL HISTOLOGY

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: -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-3: -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.
