What Causes Type 1 Diabetes

What causes Type 1 Diabetes? It is necessary to figure it out. Only when we understand the mechanism, can we treat it on the basis of the mechanism and achieve better effect. Generally, the causes can be divided into the following aspects:
1. defect of autoimmune system
In the blood of patients with Type 1 Diabetes, doctors find out kinds autoimmune antibodies such as GADA, ICA, and so on. Such abnormal antibodies can damage the beta cells which can secrete insulin and stop them from normally secreting.
2. genetic factor
At present, the research indicates that genetic factor is the pathological basis of Type 1 Diabetes. Patients with Type 1 Diabetes usually have family history. We can also say that if parents have Type 1 Diabetes, their children also have more ability of suffering from it compared with those whose parents do not have this disease.
3. infection
Infection is also an inducement which can lead to Type 1 Diabetes. Usually, before patients get symptoms of Type 1 Diabetes, they usually get infected.
4. other factors
Milk, oxygen radical and some raticide may also lead to Type 1 Diabetes. This is also under research now.
From the above mentioned, we can get a conclusion what can cause Type 1 Diabetes. If patients are diagnosed, they should take effective treatment so as to prevent it from developing and relieve the symptoms. In our Hospital, we have immunotherapy, which can repair the damaged beta cells and recover its function, thus lowering blood sugar.
