Pancreas Edit (5/23/2015)
Diabetes mellitus type 1 is a chronic autoimmune disorder in which the immune system attacks the insulin-secreting cells of the pancreas. People with type 1 diabetes therefore lack the insulin needed to keep blood sugar levels within optimal ranges. If left untreated, this leads to high blood sugar and the array of associated symptoms. Type 1 diabetes develops in people of all ages but is most often diagnosed before adulthood. For type 1 diabetics, subcutaneous injection of insulin is critical for survival.
