-"honey urine"

- 2 subtypes

1. Autoimmune attack of beta cells

- macrophages, T and B lymphocytes, and NK cells

- HLA-DR3 and HLA-DR4: not everyone has both alleles, and not everyone that has both gets diabetes

2. Idiopathic: nonimmune related (we don't know)



- Treatment: fast-acting and long-lasting forms of insulin

-fast acting is put into subcutaneous layer



Type 2:

- Non-insulin dependent: lose sensitivity to insulin via down-regulation of insulin receptors; "insulin
resistance"
