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.
Diabetes is a chronic disease whereby the body either cannot produce enough insulin, or it canât use the insulin that is produced. Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas that helps your body use the glucose you eat for energy. Diabetes causes the blood sugar level to rise too high. Diabetes is a terrible disease; it greatly reduces a personâs quality of life and shortens it substantially.
