Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (1DDM)


Definition
It is an autoimmune disease in which the body views the beta cells (insulin producing cells found in the islets of the pancreas) as a foreign substance, so the patient's immune system attacks the islets and kills them. The insulin is needed to control the normal blood glucose level in the body by the conversion of the carbohydrate in simple form to glycogen (a storage form) in the liver, muscle cell and adipocyte. 


Pathophysiology


 
Risk factor
Some group of people are high in risk to develop T1DM than others due to the damage of the
beta cell of pancreas to function properly. The primary risk factor for type 1 diabetes is a genetic and family history of this lifelong, macrosomic baby and chronic diseases.

·         Genetics and family history. ( This also exists among patient with T2DM) 
Having family members with diabetes is a major risk factor especially anyone with a first-degree relative with type 1 diabetes such as a mother, father, sister, or brother. They should get screened for diabetes.
·         Diseases of the pancreas. 
Injury or diseases of the pancreas can inhibit its ability to produce insulin that control blood glucose level.
·         Macrosomia infant ( the large baby born than average)
Refer to the mother with gestational diabetes mellitus during pregnancy.
