• increase in glucose levels is seen with or without fasting

growth/size/body
• lower body weight after onset of diabetes
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• increase in apoptosis of beta cells
|
• structures of pancreatic islets are disrupted, with increased apoptosis of beta cells after onset of diabetes and more severe at later stages
