Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A diagnosis of type 1 diabetes means that
A
The pancreas does not produce insulin
B
The insulin produced by the pancreas is not effective
C
Insulin does not reach the blood
D
We are sedentary
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: -Type 1 diabetes occurs when the pancreas does not make enough, or any, insulin. Without this hormone, the cells cannot get enough energy from food. This form of diabetes results from the body’s immune system attacking the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas.

Detailed explanation-3: -In most people with type 1 diabetes, the body’s immune system, which normally fights infection, attacks and destroys the cells in the pancreas that make insulin. As a result, your pancreas stops making insulin. Without insulin, glucose can’t get into your cells and your blood glucose rises above normal.

Detailed explanation-4: -The insulin deficiency associated with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is thought to be due to an autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic -cells; this is the result of an (still) ill-defined combination of genetic susceptibilities alongside environmental factors [59, 65].
