Understanding Diabetes了解糖尿病

Why does it happen？ 它為什麽發生？
When cells in the body start to destroy other cells, this is called an auto-immune attack. 當體內細胞開始毀壞其它細胞時，這叫做自動免疫襲擊。
Scientists are not sure why some people's cells suddenly begin to attach insulin-making cells. Usually people who get Type I diabetes are healthy in other ways. They don't get diabetes because they eat too much sugar or weigh more than normal. 科學家不肯定為什麽一些人的細胞突然開始襲擊製造胰島素的細胞。通常，得了甲型糖尿病的人們其它方麵是健康的。人不得到糖尿病因為他們吃太多的糖或體重超過正常水平。
Researchers are working hard to find the causes of diabetes and develop a cure for the disease. 研究工作者正努力工作以便找到糖尿病的病因和治療方法。

過去常聽說注射胰島素。
