after midnight and instead of waking up in my bed‚ I woke up in a hospital bed‚ wearing a hospital gown‚ and nurses huddled over me injecting needles into my bare skin.

Type 1 Diabetes: Causes: Autoimmune Response Type 1 diabetes is usually a progressive autoimmune disease‚ in which the beta cells that produce insulin are slowly destroyed by the body’s own immune system. It is unknown what first starts this cascade of immune events‚ but evidence suggests that both a genetic predisposition and environmental factors‚ such as a viral infection‚ are involved. Islets of Langerhans contain beta cells and are located within the pancreas. Beta cells produce
