The article presents the discussion on Type 1 diabetes. Topics include caused by autoimmune destruction of insulin producing b cells in the pancreas and treated with exogenous insulin delivered through injections or other devices; using cell-based therapeutics such as donor derived or engineered pancreatic islets as well as immunosuppressive treatments; and avoiding the harmful effects of abnormal glucose concentrations and the need for lifelong immunosuppression.
