Is type 1 diabetes a sex linked gene?
No, type 1 diabetes is not a sex-linked gene. It is an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Both males and females can develop type 1 diabetes.
Does type 2 diabetes mellitus have autoimmune destruction of beta cells in pancreas?
an autoimmmune disease is defined as a disease caused by someones immune system kind of going into overdrive and attacking cells it would not otherwise attack (it only should attack germs and viruses and stuff that makes you sick). in the case of type 1 diabetes, the immune system has attacked cells in the pancreas that produce insulin.

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.
