A mild form of diabetes that typically appears first in adulthood and is exacerbated by obesity and an inactive lifestyle. This disease often has no symptoms, is usually diagnosed by tests that indicate glucose intolerance, and is treated with changes in diet and an exercise regimen. Also called non-insulin-dependent diabetes, type 2 diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes is caused by the immune system destroying the cells in the pancreas that make insulin.This causes diabetes by leaving the body without enough insulin to function normally.
This is called an autoimmune reaction, or autoimmune cause, because the body is attacking itself.
There is no specific diabetes causes, but the following triggers may be involved:
Viral or bacterial infection\\Chemical toxins within food\Unidentified component causing autoimmune reaction.
Underlying genetic disposition may also be a type 1 diabetes cause.
