Autoimmune Diabetes
Simplify your type 1 diabetes diagnostics.
Autoimmune diabetes, also known as type 1 diabetes, is a chronic condition in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin, a hormone necessary for allowing sugar (glucose) to enter cells to produce energy. Unlike type 2 diabetes, which is often associated with lifestyle factors, type 1 diabetes is primarily an autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas.
Insights on Autoimmune Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by insulin deficiency and resultant hyperglycemia. Over 90% of people with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes have measurable antibodies against specific β-cell proteins, including insulin, glutamate decarboxylase, islet antigen 2, zinc transporter 8, and tetraspanin-7. Most people with a single autoantibody do not progress to type 1 diabetes, but seroconversion to the presence of two or more serum autoantibodies in children is associated with an 84% risk of clinical type 1 diabetes by the age of 18 years. Type 1 diabetes is a heritable polygenic disease with identical twin concordance of 30–70%, sibling risk of 6–7%, and a risk of 1–9% for children who have a parent with diabetes.
Autoimmune diabetes begins long before symptoms appear: autoantibodies reveal the disease years before clinical onset.
