Since the Egyptians described diabetes in their manuscript and Indian doctors identified diabetes around 1500 BC, many discoveries have been made regarding the pathogenesis and the treatment of diabetes: new technologies are invented and used in the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes, type 1 and type 2 diabetes differentiate over time, much research is carried out to find a lasting solution to this devastating disease. Despite all efforts, type 1 diabetes remains incurable. This continues to be one of the causes of death. The Genetics Home Reference web page noted the occurrence of type 1 diabetes in 10 to 20 people per 100,000 per year in the United States. In the United States, by the age of 18, about 1 in 300 people develop type 1 diabetes. Worldwide, this number increases by 2 to 5 percent each year. (Genetics Home Reference, 2013)The discussion in this article focuses on current developments in etiology and pathogenesis, as well as treatment of type 1 diabetes, as well as prospects for further research on type 1 diabetes.IntroductionOur The body needs energy to perform its functions. correctly. This energy is synthesized from the food we eat. Our body breaks down the food we ingest and then accumulates the materials necessary for healthy functioning of our body. Glucose, a simple sugar or monosaccharide that is the end product of carbohydrate digestion, is the primary source of energy for living things. (Taber, 2005). Glucose is absorbed by our intestines and distributed through the bloodstream to every cell in our body. If glucose intake is more than what is needed, our body stores excess glucose as glycogen, a chain of glucose. On the other hand, when there is a shortage, our body uses the stored middle of paper......well, heart attack and stroke due to atherosclerosis. TreatmentType 1 diabetes is a lifelong disease that requires lifelong medications and lifestyle changes. One of the treatments is insulin injection. The main aim of treatment is to control the sugar level in our blood and prevent any further complications. In addition to insulin, exercise and a healthy diet are important. Another potential hope is islet transplantation. Islet taken from a normal problem transplanted into a type 1 diabetic patient. The cell duplicates and functions like any other normal cell. Islets are cells present in the pancreas. They produce the hormone insulin which helps our body absorb glucose from our blood. If this research is successful and the treatment is accessible to everyone, it will relieve patients of the need to take daily insulin...
