DR. MAUSETH:
Now, when
you first recognize it, HUS doesn't have
typical type one diabetes. But the reason to discuss this is
when you start talking about diabetes everybody
assumes that it's type one.
The average age child is 11.
There's usually a genetic component to it. What
happens is you inherit a gene from your parents,
and usually it's from each parent. And then the
gene is then activated to form these antibodies
that go onto attack the islet cells and damage
the islet cells and make them fibrose. And
that gives you the insulin deficiency.
