Type 1 Diabetes Research

A Step Into Freedom From T1DM

About Me

Hello

I amShivani Desai

Type 1 diabetes researcher and enthusiast

Welcome to T1DM.org! It is a platform which consolidates my work about type 1 diabetes (T1DM) and its management. This forum invites an open interaction from national and international experts to manage type 1 diabetes, share their knowledge and collaborate to work towards freedom from this painful disease.

This forum includes the papers published by the author in the journals of repute. These papers primarily involve the content related to the etiology and pathophysiology of T1DM, the application of mesenchymal stem cells to manage T1DM and improve the quality of life in patients, and the correlation of diabetes with hepatic dysfunctions. It also includes papers related to the immunological aspects in the journey to prevent and reverse the disease.

With more interaction and collaborations, we can bring an end to T1DM and give a better life to the children who are at risk to develop this immensely agonising disease.

[Review Paper] A Peripheral Concept On Aetiology Of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus


Abstract: Diabetes mellitus is a common metabolic disorder affecting a wide range of populations worldwide. There are many types of diabetes mellitus, one of which is type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). It is an autoimmune disorder caused in about 97,700 children in India and 490,000 children globally. Many etiological factors contribute to this disease. This review article is a collage of etiological factors causing T1DM. A better understanding of aetiology is significant for the prevention and management of the disease.

[Review Paper] Mapping Of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus


Abstract: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), an autoimmune disorder, is becoming widespread with approximately 97,700 children in India and 490,000 children worldwide affected. There are various etiological factors contributing to the expansion of its incidence in different geographical locations. Hence, the articles published in reputed journals were studies and data was collected for analyzing the aetiology and prevention of T1DM. It has been observed that hybrid insulin peptides act as key antigens for the autoreactive T cells and causes loss of self-tolerance in humans. The association of coxsackievirus B has been observed with the onset of T1DM. Accurate identification of the trigger can lead to the development of appropriate preventive measures. It can become a base for advanced studies to prevent T1DM in humans. This review will highlight the causes and some preventive actions which can be considered to eliminate T1DM.

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: Aetiology And Pathogenesis

T1DM is allied with the selective destruction of insulin-producing β-cells in the pancreas. The commencement of clinical disease signifies the end stage of β-cell destruction which leads to T1DM. There is marked heterogeneity of the pancreatic lesions, which makes it difficult to follow the pathogenesis of selective β-cell destruction within the islet in T1DM1.
