Answer 1 = if you are on about type one Diabetes then the cause of it is still unknown, but if you are on about type two then that's normally an unhealthy diet.
Answer 2 = Sorry I am afraid I disagree with above answer. The answer to your question is YES - Both Type 1 and type 2 Diabetes Mellitis are indeed disorders caused by either insufficient or absent production of the hormone insulin by the pancreas.
It tends to run in families. But of people who inherit the genes responsible for the insulin dependent form of Diabetes Mellitis known as Diabetes Type 1 , only a small proportion eventually develop the disease, it almost always first appearing with them under the age of 35. In the case of non-insulin dependent or Type II Diabetes Mellitis however a greater proportion of people predisposed to the disease by hereditary actually go on to develop the disease. It develops mainly in people over forty and is often latent and only discovered by chance such as during a routine medical examination.
The basic facts are that insulin is an important hormone responsible for the absorption of glucose into our cells for their energy needs and into our liver and fat cells for storage. If there is a deficiency of insulin, what happens to you is the level of glucose in your blood becomes abnormally high and that is what causes you to pass large amounts of urine and have excessive thirst. Your body's inability to store or use glucose also cause you weight loss, hunger and fatigue.
In type 1 Diabetes Mellitis, the insulin secreting cells in the pancreas are destroyed probably as a consequence of an insulin response after a viral infection, so insulin production stops almost immediately.
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitis is usually a gradual onset and develops mostly in people over forty. In many cases it is latent (hidden) and insulin is produced but not enough of it to meet your body's needs, especially if you are overweight. But it is also basically caused by insufficient production of insulin by the pancreas , although the symptoms are much less severe than with type 2 diabetes.
What else can I help you with?
What specifically causes the problem of diabetes?
Diabetes mellitus is caused by a dysfunction of the pancreas and its ability to produce insulin.
What can Diabetes cause?
Type 1 Diabetes is caused when insulin-making cells are destroyed in the pancreas.Type 2 diabetes is caused when there is a lack of insulin available.
Is diabetes an example of hypersecretion hyposecretion or receptor problem?
Diabetes mellitus is not caused by a hypersecretion of insulin. A person with diabetes either produces too little insulin, or a normal amount of insulin that is not recognized by other cells in the body. Diabetes is caused by a lack of effective insulin. In type 1 diabetes the pancreatic beta cells are not producing sufficient insulin. Type 2 diabetes occurs when insulin sensitivity in target cells has decreased, so the insulin is no longer causing glucose uptake.
What is the disease caused by lack of insulin?
Diabetes
What is the name of the disease caused by the lack of insulin?
Diabetes
Why does diabetes affect the pancreas?
The beta cells in the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas secrete insulin. Type I DM is caused by an autoimmune attack that destroys these cells. Sometimes people with chronic inflammation of the pancreas can also develop a type I type of diabetes.
What is endocrinopathy diabetes mellitus?
Diabetes caused by other hormones blocking/stopping insulin.
Which hormone deficiency causes diabetes?
Diabetes mellitus is caused by a lack of a hormone. This hormone is insulin. Insulin is required for the body's cells to take in glucose. Insulin helps transport glucose into the cell across the cell membrane. Glucose is what the cell uses to make energy to run itself.
What gland scretes diabetes mellitus?
Diabetes is caused by any defect onlow or no secretion of insulin orimproper use of insulinInsulin is secreted by the gland "Pancreas". So pancreas is responsible for diabetes, it the cause is low insulin secretion (type II diabetes) or no insulin secretion (type I diabetes).Body cells is not sensitive to insulin, then diabetes type II is caused called as insulin resistance.
Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus is caused by?
Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus is caused when an autoimmune response causes the death of insulin secreting cells in the pancreas. Without regulation, the blood glucose level increases causing hyperglycemia.
What hormone do people lack with diabetes?
Diabetes mellitus is caused by an absolute or relative lack of insulin.
What kind of disorder is diabetes type 2?
Diabetes type 2 is a metabolic disorder, caused by insulin resistance in the cells of the body, combined with insufficient insulin formation. It is quite a separate disorder than diabetes type 1, which is caused by an autoimmune reaction that destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.
