text: Type 1 diabetes is thought to be caused by an autoimmune reaction (the body attacks itself by mistake) that destroys the cells in the pancreas that make insulin, called beta cells.
text: There are 2 main types of diabetes: type 1 diabetes – where the body's immune system attacks and destroys the cells that produce insulin
text: It occurs when the cells in the pancreas that create insulin are destroyed.
text: Prediabetes usually occurs in people who already have some insulin resistance or whose beta cells in the pancreas aren’t making enough insulin to keep blood glucose in the normal range.
text: It develops when the insulin-producing cells in the body are unable to produce enough insulin.
text: This means that the body gets rid of the cells that make insulin.
text: That's because the body's immune system attacked the pancreas and destroyed the cells that make insulin.
text: Type 1 diabetes is caused when the body’s immune system attacks and destroys the cells in the pancreas that make insulin, a hormone that helps carry glucose (sugar) into your cells to be used for energy.
text: 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.
text: Beta cells are the only cells that make insulin.
text: It is caused by destruction of islet cells (the cells in the pancreas that make insulin) as well as a decrease in sensitivity of the liver and muscles to the actions of insulin.
text: Since type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease -- your body destroys the cells that make insulin -- it makes sense that HLA genes are front and center.
text: When you have Type 1 diabetes, your body attacks the cells in your pancreas that make insulin, so you can't produce any insulin at all.
text: This means your immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the beta cells in your pancreas that produce insulin.
text: In type 1 diabetes, the pancreas loses its ability to make insulin because the body's immune system attacks and destroys the cells that produce insulin.
text: In type 1 diabetes, the cells which produce insulin, called beta cells, are attacked by the body's own immune system, again causing glucose to build up to high levels in the bloodstream.
text: Type 1 happens when the immune system attacks the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin.
text: Type 1 diabetes is where the cells in the body that typically produce insulin have been destroyed, leaving the body unable to produce the key hormone.
