title: Lessons from the pathology of the diabetic pancreas.
abstract: Different events such as virus infections, toxins, nutritional factors, antiinsulin antibodies may be rendered responsible for the pathological changes in the pancreatic B-cell and result in a diabetic state in the postnatal, adolescent or adult age. These different interferences which may lead to the diabetic state need full consideration and assessment if prevention and cure are to be considered.
