Diabetes mellitus type 1 (we can also say Type 1 diabetes, T1DM, IDDM, or,
formerly, juvenile diabetes) is a form of diabetes mellitus which results from
autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas. The
subsequent lack of insulin leads to increased blood and urine glucose. The
classical symptoms are polyuria (frequent urination), polydipsia (increased
thirst), polyphagia (increased hunger), and weight loss. Why do I cause type 1
diabetes? In modern times, there are more factors which lead to type 1 diabetes.
We will explain it from the following aspects in this passage: insufficiency of
autoimmune Immunotherapy, genetic factors, infection of virus, and other
factors. a
1. insufficiency of autoimmune Immunotherapy
In the blood of type 1 diabetes patients, many kinds of autoimmune antibody
can be tested such as GADA, islet cell antibody, etc. Such abnormal antibody can
damage the beta cells which secrete insulin, and prevent them from secreting
insulin.
2. genetic factors
A lot of research showed that genetic insufficiency is the pathological
foundation of type 1 diabetes, which lies in the abnormality of the sixth pair
of HLA antigens. The research from scientists reminds that patients with type 1
diabetes have family history. Namely, if your parents have diabetes, you are
more likely to get it compared with those who do not have diabetes.
3. infection of virus
Infection of virus may be the inducement of type 1 diabetes. Many scientists
even doubt that virus can lead to type 1 diabetes, because usually, before type
1 diabetes begins, people have had a period of virus infection. In addition, the
prevalence of type 1 diabetes usually takes place after virus. For example,
virus which leads to angina parotidea and nettle rash as well as CXV which can
lead to polio, all can play role in type 1 diabetes.
4. other factors
Other factors such as milk, oxygen radical, raticide, etc, all are under
research on whether they can lead to type 1 diabetes.
