XVI. DISEASE CONDITION:
13
14
Pathophysiology of disease condition
Type 1 diabetes mellitus: it develops when the body’s immune system destroys pancreatic
beta cells, the only cells in the body that make the hormone insulin, which regulates blood
glucose.
Viralinfection
Viral infection
Alteration of self-cells
Insulin deficiency
Diabetes mellitus type 2: In type 2 diabetes, either the body does not produce enough
insulin or the cells ignore the insulin. It usually begins as insulin resistance, a disorder in
which the cells do not use insulin properly. As the need for insulin rises, the pancreas
gradually loses its ability to produce it.
