So people with Type 1 diabetes can’t make their own insulin. Type 1 diabetes is what is known as a ’complex trait’‚ which means that mutations in several genes likely contribute to the disease. For example‚ it is now known that the insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (AiM1) locus on chromosome 6 may harbor at least one susceptibility

What is Type 1 Diabetes? This type of diabetes is where the pancreas‚ an organ in the human body‚ cannot produce insulin‚ a hormone. When insulin is not present‚ it is harder for the body to convert enough glucose to be used as energy. Lack of energy then makes it more difficult for the body to function fluidly and properly. Only about 5% of people with diabetes have Type 1‚ making it less common compared to the more prevalent Type 2 Diabetes. In addition‚ it is most often developed and diagnosed

Diabetes Diabetes is a life-long disease with no known cure or vaccine‚ which is caused by the absence of insulin production‚ a decreased production level or the inability to use insulin properly. Insulin is a hormone produced in the pancreas and secreted by the cells located in the beta cells of the Islets of Langerhans. While the beta cells of the pancreas secrete insulin‚ glucagon is secreted by the alpha cells. Insulin regulates blood glucose levels to prevent an increased or an abnormally decreased
