DiabetesDiabetes Mellitus Type I or Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM) is a genetic disease. It appears that people with this genetic pre-disposition develop an auto-immune disorder in which the immune system attacks the beta cells within the pancreas that are responsible for making insulin. Diabetes Mellitus Type II or Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM) occurs when there is a decreased ability of your body’s cells to respond to the insulin produced by the pancreas; when there is liver damage leading to poor control of glucose output by the liver; or when decreased beta cell function leads to failure.We have compiled a selection of articles on diabetes.
