Urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine; in simple terms, to wee when you don't intend to. It is the inability to hold urine in the bladder because voluntary control over the urinary sphincter is either lost or weakened.
By Mayo Clinic Staff. The exact cause of type 1 diabetes is unknown. In most people with type 1 diabetes, the body's own immune system â which normally fights harmful bacteria and viruses â mistakenly destroys the insulin-producing (islet) cells in the pancreas.
Type 1 Diabetes is caused by an auto-immune mediated destruction of the insulin producing beta cells in the body. The destruction of these cells reduces the bodyâs ability to respond to glucose levels in the body, therefore making it nearly impossible to properly regulate glucose and glucagon levels in the bloodstream.
