It is characterized by an "insulin deficiency due to the destruction of the beta cells of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas responsible for the production of this hormone. This destruction is linked to an autoimmune reaction. Type 1 diabetes generally appears at a young age.

The beta cells of the islets of Langerhans are generally functional. It is a form that typically arises in old age."
