- Insulin dependant because insulin is no longer made./secreted by the beta cells in the islets of langerhan located in the pancreas
- Regular insulin shots are given in order to raise blood glucose concentration
- Autoimmune responce: The bodys own immune system attacks the beta cells in the islets of langerhans of the pancreas
- Body is incapable of secreting insulin, which is the reaosn why body glucose concentration soars after a rich carb mean
- Viral attacks of the body
- Insulin dependant because insulin is no longer made./secreted by the beta cells in the islets of langerhan located in the pancreas
- Causes hypoglycaemia because patient cannot store excess glucose as glycogen in the liver
