THE TYPE OF DIABETES AND INSULIN HORMONE PRODUCTION DAMAGE - Family Health tips

Diabetes mellitus generally occurs due to lack of the hormone insulin, which is needed to digest food into energy. Well, then what happens when the beta cells is broken so can not produce insulin? The body becomes deprived of essential nutrients, resulting in the depletion of immune body. However, the process of pancreatic beta cell damage occurs by different mechanisms, and this process affects the type of diabetes.

There are actually 3 different types of diabetes, the diabetes type 1, 2, and gestasional. Here is a brief explanation of the type of diabetes and the ekrusakan mechanism of insulin hormone production.
