Evidence for autoimmunity in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes comes from postmortem studies in patients who have died shortly after presentation and pancreatic biopsies from living patients. 8) associated with the residual β cells in the islets of recently diagnosed type 1 diabetic patients. The infiltrate consists of T cell lymphocytes and macrophages. Later in the disease, there is complete loss of β cells, while the other islet cell types (α, δ and PP cells) all survive. 9 ICA demonstrated by indirect immunofluorescence in a frozen section of human pancreas.

A history of gestational diabetes is a major risk factor for later development of type 2 diabetes in women. e. e. emergence of new β cells from pancreatic ductal epithelial cells) and (iv) β cell apoptosis.
