Question 1The insulin producing beta-cells are destructed in an autoimmune way that too withinLangerhans islets. This entire process is responsible for causing type 1 diabetes that is mellitus.Furthermore, the role of genetics herein is also very important. Diseases like diabetes are highlyat risk of getting transferred through genes. Since Briana's mom was suffering from diseasecalled coelia, her genes were likely to be passed to Briana. Further contextualising upon hypothalamus, it is a part present within brain and cruciallyplays the role of determining whether diabetes would be developed or not. It is responsible forcontrolling thirst, hunger and temperature of body. Any disturbances in these system is likely topose the threat of diabetes. Having diet involving high-fats triggers the pathway of hypothalamusthereby causing hunger and thirst in excessive terms. Gradually the [erson is made prone towadshaving diabetes. 1. High blood glucose levelType 1 diabetes mainly occurs due to presence of higher blood-glucose levels since thebody is not able to produce insulin in appropriate amount. If the level is higher than 7 mmol/Lthen the diabetes is diagnosed. In case of Briana it was 25.0mmol/L (A to Z: DiabeticKetoacidosis, 2017). As per this, beta cells present in pancreas are responsible for production ofinsulin, are killed by the body's immune system. 1
