Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (1DDM)


WHAT IS THE DEFINITION?

It is an autoimmune disease in which the body views the beta cells (insulin producing cells found in the islets of the pancreas) as a foreign substance, so the patient's immune system attacks the islets and kills them. The insulin is needed to control the normal blood glucose level in the body by the conversion of the carbohydrate in simple form to glycogen (a storage form) in the liver, muscle cell and adipocyte. 


Pathophysiology








Risk factor
Some group of people are high in risk to develop T1DM than others due to the damage of the beta cell of pancreas to function properly. The primary risk factor for type 1 diabetes is a genetic and family history of this lifelong, macrosomic baby and chronic diseases.
