DIABETES TYPE I

Also well-known like insulinodependiente diabetes or youthful diabetes, call thus, because usually the childhood or adolescence appears from, although also some adults can suffer it.

It is a chronic disease and incurable and it is pronounced by the incapacity of the body to use and to store the glucose appropriately, which causes its permanence in the blood in amounts superior to the normal ones.

The organism normally turns almost all foods a well-known sugar form like glucose, amino acids and lipids. When the glucose happens to the blood becomes the main power plant of the cells of the organism, which is very important because this allows to all the movements and physical and mental functions.

But so that the glucose can be introduced in the cells, it needs the aid of a hormone called insulin, that are produced by the cells beta of the páncreas, the entrance of the glucose to the cells causes that the sugar falls at its normal level in the blood, which is known like glucemia.

When a deficiency exists or insulin in the páncreas does not take place, the glucose is incapable to enter the cells of the organism and remains in the blood, elevating its level over the normal limits, (hiperglucemia) or sugar elevated in blood. At the same time, the cells, which the glucose has not entered, suffer by the lack of their main power plant and they are not possible to be reproduced or they die.

When a person has diabetes of type 1, she cannot produce insulin, the sugar she is accumulated in the blood and she can damage the internal organs, the nervous system and the blood vessels and this she altogether causes the alteration of carbon hydrates, lipids and proteins.

This disease appears generally in smaller people of 30 years and both sexes, although it is less frequent than the Mellitus Diabetes type II, also is a serious disease, that it requires of well-taken care of and control during all the life.

The development of the diabetes type I has its origin, in an attack of the immune system against the own cells beta of the páncreas, ordered to produce the insulin.

This process seems to have several stages:

- genetic Predisposition or susceptibility causes by several genes that are implied.

- It seems that it can have a leading factor of the symptoms that can be a viral infection, excessive stress, toxins in the body and other causes that trigger the immunological process that takes to the destruction of the cells beta of the páncreas.

This immunological reaction has certain characteristics that can be identified before the manifestation of the diabetes (prediabetes), because she is in favor half-full of antibodies like: descarboxilasa of glutámico acid (GAD), that is similar to a protein of the virus Coxsackie B, potentially implied in the development of the diabetes; the IA2, directed against one fosfatasa present inside the cells beta; and antibodies against the own insulin.

The people with diabetes type 1 have more risks of suffering renales diseases of the heart, faults, hypertension, cequera, neuropatías and/or diseases in encías if she is not controlled suitably, which now is simpler by medicines and programs of attention to diabetics.
