Type 1 diabetes: where are we in 2017?

Abstract: Type 1 diabetes mellitus is a chronic state of insulin deficiency which results from destruction of beta cells by the immune system. The long term microvascular and macrovascular complications can be devastating. Since the discovery of insulin almost 100 years ago new medical therapies have improved the long-term survival for people with type 1 diabetes. Each year we come closer to discovering a cure but much work still needs to be done to eliminate this disease.

“…Increased fracture risk due to diabetic bone disease is increasingly understood to be a burdensome health problem for both type I and type II diabetics. Not only are both type II and type I diabetes on the rise, but with advances in treatments for diabetes, diabetics are living longer lives . It is, therefore, important to develop new approaches to address osteopenia in light of the aging population of diabetic patients to ensure that mobility and quality of life are not further compromised.…”

“…Not only are both type II and type I diabetes on the rise, but with advances in treatments for diabetes, diabetics are living longer lives. (48) It is, therefore, important to develop new approaches to address osteopenia in light of the aging population of diabetic patients to ensure that mobility and quality of life are not further compromised. We therefore sought to identify a molecular mechanism for diabetic bone disease using a mouse model for type I diabetes.…”

“…Exposure to pathogens can have a profound impact on the health of an individual both directly and through connections with other diseases 1 . Studies have linked infectious agents to autoimmune diseases (such as with multiple sclerosis 2 and type 1 diabetes in children 3 ), cancers 4 , drug hypersensitivity 5 and psychiatric disorders 6 . Investigating early life exposure to specific infectious agents is critical to our understanding of the infectious aetiologies of diseases of interest and the impact that infection may have on development.…”

“…In a healthy organism, glucagon secretion is suppressed by hyperglycemia, but in type 1 DM, an elevated glucagon concentration aggravates metabolic defects due to insulin deficiency. In response to insulin deficiency, uncontrolled lipolysis and elevated levels of free fatty acids occur in the plasma [4]. On the other hand, type 2 DM comprises a group of genetic diseases with similar symptoms and outcomes, but with different genetic backgrounds and pathophysiological processes.…”
