Look like there is quite a bit of information on the Diabetes mellitus type 1 page. I would make sure to add some important information that is not listed currently. Perhaps make a new subheading or topic so it's clear how you contributed. (Yarrd86 (talk) 18:26, 6 November 2018 (UTC))

I was reviewing Yarrd86 work on Mediated transport https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediated_transport

Feel free to review that, and I will review your work.

For your work:

I don't know if it is possible to add a visual, or maybe a chart, but that might be good to break up some of the information. Like was said previously, this is a pretty well covered topic, so definitely adding a specific subheading will help make it clear what has been contributed. As you work out more details of what you will add I will be glad to look at syntax, wording etc Tlunchman (talk) 06:05, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

I looked over the article briefly, and checked out your notes. The section in the article seems like a good one to expand upon! It's a little weird that the complications section has a bunch of listed (and possibly repeated) complications in the first paragraph, and then some more expanded ones that get their own subsection. In addition to adding your subsections, it would be helpful if you cleaned up the wording and organization in the top paragraph so information is easier to find. I'm a little suspicious about Type 1 diabetes always causing glucagon dysregulation- is there any information about subtypes of Type 1 that affect the alpha cells? (I don't know much about it, but my understanding was that the autoimmune disease was characterized by an attack on the beta cells, and I'd be interested to know if the alpha cells were only sometimes attacked or attacked all the time.)

yes, the top paragraph was in a bare-bones bullet outline and has been fleshed out. As far as your suspicions, you are right that Type 1 diabetes directly affects the beta cells, destroying them and taking insulin out of the picture. because of how glucagon relies on insulin and based on many concurring sources, it has been shown that glucagon is affected in tandem with insulin, though in a different manner. alpha cells are not destroyed by the immune system, but the intraislet signaling is deeply affected. complications section could use some more cleaning, as well as some additional correlation to the separate complications page that is linked to the subsection.Jthibaudeau (talk) 06:51, 27 December 2019 (UTC)`
