Abstract:
The information and counselling of diabetic patients and their families requires for the practitioner to know about some fundamental aspects of diabetes and in particular, to distinguish between the different types of diabetes with different causes, pathogenetic mechanism and modes of inheritance. Recent developments in the fields of immunogenetics have improved the understanding of type I diabetes, an auto-immune disease associated with HLA and made possible the identification of genetically susceptible individuals. The etiology of type II diabetes, by far the most frequent form, remains unknown. In the absence of genetical markers, the screening of predisposed subjects is, however, useful in order to propose preventive measures.

Diabetes Mellitus: Overview and Type I Subtype
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. As a result, the body is unable to produce sufficient insulin, and individuals with...

Pathophysiology of Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility, suggesting a...
