Juvenile+Onset+Diabetes+(Sick+Genes)

Juvenile onset diabetes is a disorder that disrupts the beta cells of the pancreas which does not allow for insulin to be produced. This causes for insulin to have to be manually inserted into the body. Juvenile onset diabetes usually occurs before one turns 25.

__**Symptoms**__
 * Increased hunger
 * Increased thirst
 * Sudden weight loss
 * Fatiuge

__**Genetic Mutation**__ The IDDM1 (insulin dependent diabetes mellitus) gets on chromosome 6. Other chromosomes susceptible to juvenile onset diabetes are chromosome 11 and 7.



__**Genetic Relationship**__ Juvenile onset diabetes can be devloped genetically though it is not very common. It would be and autosome. Though it can be developed genetically it has more to do with the persons diet and excercise patterns than that.

__**Causes**__ Juvenile onset diabetes occurs when the cells that create insulin are destroyed which causes for there to be much less insulin or if the insulin does not work properly. This lack of insulin means that sugar will not be processed effectively to be used as energy for the body.Drugs can also increase the risk of obtaining juvenile onset diabetes.

That means that they must manually be inserting the insulin into their body. They will have to be checking their blood pressure every so often to see if they need more insulin. This can complicate their lives by making them have to constantly be carrying around insulin with them and have to be constantly checking their blood pressure.

__**Creative way of teaching**__ A creative way of teaching about juvenile onset diabetes is to make a flowchart of the different things that happen during the process of it. Another way is to draw it all out as it happens.

__**EC: Research Outlook**__ Right now scientists are studying to find a permanent cure to juvenile onset diabetes. There are several foundations out there in which you may donate money to help fund the research of finally curing it.
