A) pancreatic destruction of beta cells
B) need insulin injections or infusion
C) tissues exhibit insulin resistance
D) accounts for only about 5% of cases of diabetes
E) usually diagnosed in children or young adults

Accepted Answer

Type 1 Diabetes is characterized by the destruction of beta cells in the pancreas, which leads to a lack of insulin production. Therefore, individuals with Type 1 Diabetes require insulin injections or infusion to regulate their blood sugar levels. Tissues do not exhibit insulin resistance in Type 1 Diabetes as the issue is with the lack of insulin production, not the inability of tissues to respond to insulin. Type 1 Diabetes is usually diagnosed in children or young adults and accounts for about 5% of cases of diabetes. Therefore, the statement that is not true regarding Type 1 Diabetes is C - tissues do not exhibit insulin resistance.
