What causes type 1 diabetes? 1型糖尿病是由什么原因引起的? Type 1 diabetes is caused by an autoimmune reaction (meaning the body attacks itself by mistake) that destroys the cells in the pancreas that make insulin, Katherine Araque, M.D., director of endocrinology of the Pacific Neuroscience Institute at Providence Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, Calif., tells Health. What actually causes that autoimmune reaction in the first place isn't completely known at this time. 1型糖尿病是由自身免疫反应(也就是说身体在误伤自己)引起的,该反应会破坏胰腺中制造胰岛素的细胞,加利福尼亚州圣莫尼卡市普罗维登斯圣约翰健康中心太平洋神经科学研究院的分泌科主任凯瑟琳·阿拉克(Katherine Araque)医学博士对《健康》杂志说道。目前尚不完全了解导致自身免疫反应的真正原因。 |
