The Animation of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

This amazing animation by Nucleus media is a great way to learn the basics of type 1 Diabetes Mellitus!

A decrease in insulin predisposes to hyperglycemia which can lead to severe microvascular and macrovascular complications. Patients may also land with diabetic ketoacidosis, a medical emergency.
