When eating, your digestive system will destroy the food and distribute nutrients into the blood. Then the pancreas which is behind the stomach to produce insulin which will move glucose from the blood into body cells which will then convert it into energy.
But the pancreas belongs with type 1 diabetes can not produce insulin which controls blood sugar levels so that glucose can not be moved from the blood into the body's cells.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition. In general, the human immune system works to fight and destroy what is considered to be foreign or dangerous. In the case of type 1 diabetes, the immune system was mistakenly attacking cells in the pancreas so that insulin production was stopped. This is because the immune cells of the pancreas thinks that harm the body.
Triggers the immune system response against the cells of the pancreas is not known for certain, but there are few studies that suspect the cause is probably due to genetic or viral infection.
A person's risk for developing this disease would be a little higher if there is a nuclear family (mother, father, or sibling) who suffer from type 1 diabetes, while those who do not have relatives who suffer from type 1 diabetes have a very small risk.
