Detailed explanation-2: -Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an organ-specific autoimmune disease caused by the autoimmune response against pancreatic cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Insulin autoimmune syndrome is a rare condition that causes low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). This occurs because the body begins to make a specific kind of protein called antibodies to attack insulin. Insulin is a naturally occurring hormone that is responsible for keeping blood sugar at a normal level.
