Type 1 diabetes mellitus is a chronic medical condition that occurs when the pancreas, an organ in the abdomen, produces very little or no insulin. Type 1 diabetes usually develops when the immune system destroys the insulin-producing cells (called the beta cells) in the pancreas. This is called an autoimmune response. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is caused mainly by genetic factors and due to certain kinds of lifestyle. AIDS or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus. Multiple myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells.
