Explanation

Lack of insulin causes diabetes.

Diabetes is a condition that happens when your blood sugar (glucose) is too high.

It develops when your pancreas doesn't make enough insulin.

Explanation

The pancreas produces insulin, which regulates blood sugar levels.

In diabetes, the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or the body cannot use it properly.

Explanation

Diabetes cause due to mall functioning of pincrease

The three main types of diabetes are:

Type 1 diabetes

Type 2 diabetes

Gestational diabetes

Type 1 diabetes

Type 1 diabetes is believed to be an autoimmune condition. This means your immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the beta cells in your pancreas that produce insulin. The damage is permanent.

Type 2 diabetes

Type 2 diabetes starts as insulin resistance. This means your body can’t use insulin efficiently. That stimulates your pancreas to produce more insulin until it can no longer keep up with demand. Insulin production decreases, which leads to high blood sugar.

Gestational diabetes

Gestational diabetes is due to insulin-blocking hormones produced during pregnancy. This type of diabetes only occurs during pregnancy.

Explanation

This occurs due to the use of central venous catheters.

It can introduce pathogens into the bloodstream, leading to sepsis or other infections.
