Carbohydrates are our bodies prime source of energy. Some food that contain carbohydrates include bread, potatoes, and pasta. A carbohydrate heavy meal would provide lots of energy for the body.

Metabolism is a process of breaking down molecules for energy. Carbohydrates must be metabolized in order to produce energy.

Glucose is a simple sugar that we can find in carbohydrates. Once carbs are broken down the glucose would make its way into the blood stream for use of energy. For Diabetes, the body cannot uptake the glucose.

In the pancreas, insulin is created. With Type 1 diabetes the immune system attacks cells creating insulin. Insulin is needed to be injected as the pancreas cannot produce insulin.

The person with type 1 diabetes does not have any insulin in their pancreas which is needed for energy production. Without insulin this cannot happen, so a diabetic person must inject insulin.

Insulin receptors on the cell meet with insulin, allowing glucose to enter the cell. Individuals with type 1 diabetes have a complete lack of insulin, preventing from glucose from entering the cell. This is extremely dangerous as glucose is needed for energy production. In this disease, daily injections of insulin are needed for survival.

Energy that is produced for the body is called adenosine triphosphate, ATP. ATP is produced in the mitochondria and is important to human survival. Glucose is essential to the production of ATP, which is why it's so important to have insulin to allow glucose into the cell.

A cause of type 1 diabetes is simply genetics, causing type 1 diabetes to occur. Then essentially the body's immune system would attack cells that produce insulin, making the pancreas not able to produce insulin.

The second cause for type 1 diabetes is a an viral infection or environmental factor that would trigger the disease. From them on the pancreas would no longer be able to produce insulin.
