Type 1 diabetes

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
The article I have chosen to evaluate is about type 1 diabetes. I resonate with this topic because I have diabetes. My preliminary impression was seeing how long it is. Maybe that is a good thing it was just a little overwhelming for the extensive amount of ground to cover, explaining why the pancreas dies, all the different kinds of insulin, the extensive research, etc...

Evaluate the article
The article has an introductory sentence describing a brief overview of what diabetes is before diving into the detailed content. The first few sentences might be a little too detailed talking about the side effects of untreated or pre-diabetes. The content is relevant to the topic and there are a wealth of sources from 2002 all the way to 2023. The range is vast, however, all the studies written about were conducted in the past three years. Everything seems to be neutral, there are no 'I statements' or opinions. Everything is backed up, there should at least be one footnote per paragraph, and there is way more than that.

There are two spelling errors that I saw, in the 'autoimmune disorders' section 'respectively' is spelled wrong, and in the 'chemicals and drugs'  section 'gatifloxacin' is spelled wrong. There a quite a few grammatical errors as well. The article is organized nicely, and broken up into sections. There is an image of the diabetes awareness symbol and a diagram of someone's organs, both images are well-captioned. Given the length of the article, there could be a lot more photos of some needles, or DNA genes. The two images that are there, are visually appealing. I don't think there are any WikiProjects going on, it is rated B-class. The article could definitely be improved with grammatical errors, but the content has a healthy balance of information.
