| Abstract: | ![]()
The pathogenesis of IDDM and NIDDM indicates a distinct difference between these diseases. Viral illness is implicated in IDDM, linked with evidence for an immune deficiency. NIDDM is not linked to viral illness or autoimmunity but is highly influenced by the inheritance of a defect in insulin production. |
