Type One Diabetes Cause and Effect
I. Introduction: Diabetes is a growing problem in the world, in just 2012 almost 29.1 million Americans were diagnosed with diabetes. Then almost 8.1 million were undiagnosed! Numbers these days are only increasing too. In the United States alone, diabetes is the seventh cause of death. (American Diabetes Association)
II. Causes (Use as many as your topic discusses.)
A. “Body does not produce insulin. The body breaks down the sugars and starches you eat into a simple sugar called glucose.” (American Diabetes Association)
1. Cause of diabetes
a. Due to the fact the pancreas can’t produce insulin to break down the sugars someone intakes.
b. Drinking alcohol can dangerously make blood sugar extremely high or even very low.
2. Details
a. Do to the fact the body can’t break down the sugar, it can cause very low blood sugar (Hypoglycemia) or it can make it very high (Hyperglycemia)
b. Every time someone with diabetes takes a drink of a sugary drink or eat, they need to count the carbohydrates and take a shot of insulin for it.

Type one diabetes is when the pancreas doesn’t produce any or very little insulin. When the body can’t break down the sugar, it can cause blood glucose levels to increase causing hyperglycemia. When there’s too much insulin and not even sugar, it’ll cause hypoglycemia. Both of these aren’t good at all for diabetics. “Beta cells are cells that makes insulin. Beta cells are located in the islets of the pancreas.” (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) Beta cells are any type of insulin producing cells. Without these, the pancreas doesn’t break down sugar
