Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A person with type 1 diabetes produces little or no insulin.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If you have type 1 diabetes, your pancreas doesn’t make insulin or makes very little insulin. Insulin helps blood sugar enter the cells in your body for use as energy. Without insulin, blood sugar can’t get into cells and builds up in the bloodstream.

Detailed explanation-2: -With type 1 diabetes, beta cells produce little or no insulin. Without enough insulin, glucose builds up in the bloodstream instead of going into the cells. This buildup of glucose in the blood is called hyperglycemia. The body is unable to use the glucose for energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -“Someone with Type 1 diabetes will always require insulin injections, because their body produces little or no insulin, but someone with Type 2 diabetes may require insulin injections as part of their treatment plan as well, ‘’ said Eileen Labadie, Henry Ford Health diabetes education specialist.
