The symptoms of diabetes, according to the scrolls found, were known as far back as ancient Egypt. According to modern
concepts, diabetes mellitus (DM) is either relative (type 2 diabetes) or absolute (type 1 diabetes). The first type of diabetes develops as a
result of damage to the “B-cells” of the islet type, which leads to a lack of insulin.
The highest incidence of diabetes in the population is observed in the countries of northern Europe. At the same time, the incidence of type 2 diabetes occurs in
about 90% of cases. Seasonality of exacerbations of diabetes mellitus 1 was noted in children aged 7-14 years in the autumn-winter period and a decrease in the incidence
in summer.
In this case, the following morphological changes occur in the tissue of the pancreas (PZH): 1. Sclerosis and atrophy of islet cells.
2. Hyaline degeneration of cells.
3. Watery degeneration of cells.
