Syncope is a common event in which there is a transient loss of consciousness and postural tone.

Occurs when the body's immune system attacks the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas and destroys them. The pancreas then produces little or no insulin. Type 1 diabetes develops most often in young people but can appear in adults.
Type-2 diabetes occurs when a personâs tissues become progressively resistant to insulin, a hormone required for the body to properly metabolize dietary glucose. Type-1 diabetes occurs when the immune system attacks and destroys insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. The root cause of the insulin resistance in type-2 diabetes is not known, but itâs associated with obesity and can run in families.
