type 1 diabetes is when the pancreas is nonfunctioning and requires insulin. hope this helps
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.
What is the molecular basis of type 1 diabetes?
There basis of Type 1 diabetes has to do with the dysfunction of the beta cells of the pancreas and their inability to produce insulin. If there were a molecular basis it would be the absence of insulin which helps the body tissues utilize glucose.
What is the organ of diabetes?
the Pancreas
What is a characteristic of gestational diabetes?
Type 1 diabetes results from autoimmune destruction of insulin producing beta cells of the pancreas. On the other hand, type 2 diabetes is characterized by high blood glucose in the context of insulin resistance.
Is Diabetes a virus or bacteria?
Diabetes is neither a virus or a bacteria. Diabetes is an abnormally high blood sugar level caused by a person's inability to process glucose due to insufficient insulin production. On the contrary: Diabetes type 1 can be caused by a virus, (and sometimes in diabetes type 2). Research has found that viral infections occur mainly in the beta cells of the pancreas. They can effect the structure and function of the pancreas in producing enough insulin, thus causing diabetes in severe cases. The coxsackie viruses are the main ones being implicated.
What is the disorder in which cells are unable to obtain glucose from the blood such that high blood-glucose levels result?
Diabetes is what you're asking for. However, it is not the bodys inability to obtain glucose from the blood. It is the inability of the pancreas to secrete insulin to help control the amount of glucose in the body.
What happens to the pancreas when diabetes is a non communicable disease?
Diabetes is a non-communicable disease. It is the condition when your pancreas stops producing insulin.
Why does the pancreas does not work even it gets insulin?
The pancreas is supposed to make insulin, glucagon, and enzymes. When you become a diabetic, either the pancreas stops making insulin, or the cells in the body are unable to use insulin. If the pancreas stops making insulin, that is type one diabetes, and if the body cannot use insulin, that is type two diabetes. While it is possible to cause type one diabetes with alcohol abuse, both forms of diabetes are often a result of an immune response. Type one diabetes is usually childhood onset, and a virus or the immune system attacks the pancreas. Type two diabetes is often acquired through bad diet. You might get so much fat and plaques from the fat that the body mistakes it for invaders. So the body ends up targeting insulin receptors.
When is the pancreas unable to make insulin?
Type 1 diabetes mellitus
What types of diabetes are determined by the functioning of the?
pancreas
