These patients, especially those with type 1 diabetes (whose pancreas produces no insulin at all), must constantly monitor their glycemic state and use exogenous insulin to keep their blood glucose from increasing beyond the healthy range into hyperglycemia, while avoiding out-of-range low (hypoglycemic) values, which can potentially lead to seizures, coma, and even death [4]. The gene discussed is INS; the disease is Hyperglycemia.
