May God bless all good employers out there.

Type 1 diabetes triggered by popular prescription drug

Children genetically at risk of developing type 1 diabetes are more likely to be diagnosed with the condition if they are prescribed gentamicin – an antibiotic used to treat several types of bacterial infections.

A study conducted by the Medical College of Georgia has found that the commonly used prescription drug generates a higher level of antibodies, putting people using the antibiotic at risk of developing type 1 diabetes.

What causes diabetes?

Type 1 and type 2 diabetes may have similar names, but they’re different diseases with unique causes.

The key difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes is that type 1 is believed to be caused by an autoimmune reaction and develops early in life. Type 2 diabetes develops over the course of many years and is related toTrusted Source lifestyle factors such as being inactive and carrying excess weight. It’s usually diagnosed in adults.

Risk factors for type 1 diabetes are not as clear, but family history may play a role.

Causes of type 1 diabetes
The body’s immune system is responsible for fighting off foreign invaders, such as harmful viruses and bacteria.

Type 1 diabetes is believed to be caused by an autoimmune reaction. In people with type 1 diabetes, the immune system mistakes the body’s own healthy cells for foreign invaders.

The immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. After these beta cells are destroyed, the body is unable to produce insulin.

Researchers don’t know why the immune system sometimes attacks the body’s own cells. It may have something to do with genetic and environmental factors, such as exposure to viruses.

Research into autoimmune diseases is ongoing. Diet and lifestyle habits do not cause type 1 diabetes.

Causes of type 2 diabetes
People with type 2 diabetes have insulin resistance. The body still produces insulin, but it’s unable to use it effectively.

Researchers aren’t sure why some people become insulin resistant and others don’t, but several lifestyle factors may contribute, including being inactive and carrying excess weight.

Other genetic and environmental factors may also play a role. When you develop type 2 diabetes, your pancreas will try to compensate by producing more insulin. Because your body is unable to effectively use insulin, glucose accumulates in your bloodstream.
