Mutations in many different genes are linked to type 1 diabetes. Scientists think it is triggered by environmental factors like a virus or other sickness as well as in your family's pedigree. ]]> 2018-04-18 18:43:43 UTC https://padlet.com/12303173/iokai4qqh0h1/wish/253160752 Effect of the Disorder 2342467273 https://padlet.com/12303173/iokai4qqh0h1/wish/253161682 The effect of type 1 diabetes is that the body's pancreas does not produce enough insulin.

Scientists believe at least one gene on each of the chromsomes 2, 6, 7, 11 impact diabetes. T1D has different evidence for whether or not it is recessive or dominant. However it has been concluded that it is much more complicated than just Mendelian concepts genetics. ]]> 2018-04-18 18:48:30 UTC https://padlet.com/12303173/iokai4qqh0h1/wish/253163103 How is the disorder treated? 12303173 https://padlet.com/12303173/iokai4qqh0h1/wish/253230768 Type 1 diabetes is treated through a medication called insulin. Individuals with this disorder must count their carbs, fat and protein. They must check their blood sugar multiple times a day, eat healthy and nutritious foods and finally exercise and maintain a healthy weight. ]]> 2018-04-18 23:29:24 UTC https://padlet.com/12303173/iokai4qqh0h1/wish/253230768 Story 12303173 https://padlet.com/12303173/iokai4qqh0h1/wish/253231537 https://asweetlife.org/my-way-too-sweet-sixteen-a-type-1-diabetes-diagnosis-story/]]> 2018-04-18 23:36:24 UTC https://padlet.com/12303173/iokai4qqh0h1/wish/253231537 Citations 12303173 https://padlet.com/12303173/iokai4qqh0h1/wish/253231808 click on this link for works cited ]]> 2018-04-18 23:38:59 UTC https://padlet.com/12303173/iokai4qqh0h1/wish/253231808 How is the disorder diagnosed? 2342467273 https://padlet.com/12303173/iokai4qqh0h1/wish/253569676 When diagnosed for type 1 diabetes it usually requires at least 1 blood test.
