| http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#value | - Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that occurs independently of personal choices, caused when the body's immune system strangely decides to attack insulin producing pancreatic cells. (In Type 2 diabetes, for the most part the body does not appropriately use the insulin that it does make.) Eventually, the pancreas of an individual with Type 1 diabetes can not make any more insulin at all, ever.
