Answer # 1 #

Type 1 diabetes, which is also known as insulin-dependent diabetes, is associated with hyperglycemia and insulin deficiency. This insulin deficiency is due to the destruction of the β cells of the pancreatic islets of Langerhans, which are responsible for homeostatic insulin production.
