WASHINGTON D.C: In a fresh study, scientists have discovered that microbes could trigger Type 1 diabetes by means of stimulating the immune structure of the body to slay the cells, which generates insulin.

According to the previous research, T-cells are a sort of white blood cells demolishes insulin creating beta cells. Whereas the usual task of these cells is to defend the body from microorganisms.

However, by using high-tech equipment, the scientists from Cardiff University unveiled that the germs are liable for the commencement of eradicator T-cells.

In Type -1 diabetes, the T-cells hit the pancreatic beta cells, which is accountable for generating insulin and manage the altitude of blood sugar.

Moreover, in the deficiency of beta cells, patients have to rely on insulin injections approximately on regular basis to stay healthy.

Scientists have reported their findings in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
