A person with type 1 Diabetes will develop a condition known as Hyperglycemia if they go too long without taking insulin. Hyperglycemia is a buildup of glucose, or sugar, in the blood. This occurs due to the fact that there is no insulin available to help the absorption of glucose into the cells to be turned into glycogen.

Why can't diabetes be spread?
Diabetes is caused by processes that happen in your body, and they are not contagious. Type I diabetics simply do not produce insulin in their bodies, and Type II have an insulin resistance.

How do insufficient production of insulin affect the body?
Insulin helps regulate blood sugar levels. The pancreas secretes insulin in the body. With not enough insulin, symptoms similar to hypoglycemia and diabetes happen. Shakiness, dizziness, fainting, dehydration. (I'm not too certain on the dehydration though.)
What would happen if insulin was never invented how would this have an impact on society?
There would be a lot more people dying of diabetes related diseases.
Will wheat grass help your diabetes?
No. It has no effect. Diabetes is a disease involving sugar and a hormone : insulin. If you happen to be pre-diabetic AND you're fat, losing weight will help ... it may even prevent the disease from occurring. (Because the fat cells effect your ability to utilize the insulin that your body has.)
Can you beborn with diabetes?
People with Type One Diabetes (or Juvenile Diabetes) are NOT always born with it. Type One Diabetes is an autoimmune disorder where the body has attacked its own insulin producing cells, leaving the body unable to produce insulin and therefore unable to regulate the blood sugar levels in the body. While this autoimmune disorder occurs most often during the years of childhood, it can happen at any point in a person's life, resulting in having Type One Diabetes. I have Type One Diabetes, and I was not born with it, but acquired it when I was 15 years old.
Where in your body does diabetes happen?
Diabetes happens everywhere in your body.To be precise, however, it depends on the type of diabetes.Diabetes is typically divided into two types:1 - which is the insulin dependent.2 - which is non-insulin dependent.We now know that there are many types of diabetes, but these are the two simplified types.Type one, which was insulin dependent, typically happens in your pancreas - the organ which produces and secretes insulin. From various reasons the pancreas cannot itself produce insulin, and thus diabetes is developed.Type two, which was non-insulin dependent diabetes (NIDD), typically happens on cellular level in many of the bodies cells. Due to various reasons these cells do not respond at all (or at least not very well) to insulin, and thusly they cannot absorb blood-sugar. As a result of this, diabetes is developed.So to sum up:- Both types affect the whole body- Type 1 is caused in the pancreas- Type 2 is caused on cellular level many places in the body.
Where does insulin in the body happen?
Insulin is produced in your pancreas.

How do diabetes happen?
well it depends. i myself have type one daibetes. in my case and my brothers they dont know how it happened. no one else in our past family has had it. when i was diagnosed at age 14 the doctors believed that i could have caught a cold that triggered it but not the reason i have it. \diabetes type one is where your body attacks the pancreas and it eventually stops producing insulin. Insulin takes the energy you get from food and transports it to your cells. type two diabetes is where you are unhealthy/overweight. there is no cure for diabetes but there are new ways of controlling it. no one knows why people get type one diabetes but to help people like me and many others that have diabetes donate to JDRF (juvanial diabetes research foundation)
What happens with gestational diabetes?
Hormones produced during pregnancy can interfere with a woman's insulin production. She may need more insulin to process the glucose in her blood. Higher levels of glucose can cause hyperglycemia. Some women with gestational diabetes can control their blood sugar through diet and exercise, others may be insulin-dependent.
