Abstract

Circulating neutrophil counts are reduced both in healthy autoantibody-positive individuals and in patients with type 1 diabetes, which may be related on cell-specific autoimmunity. This paper was written to give an update on roles of neutrophils in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes mellitus. Different research search engines like PubMed Central, Scopus, Web of Science, Researchgate, Google Scholar etc were utilised for writing this paper. A drop in blood neutrophil counts in type 1 diabetes may be caused by decreased neutrophil generation and maturation, tissue maintenance, consumption, or peripheral damage. Neutrophil count variations between studies may be explained by results from various stages of diabetes or by ethnic groups. Neutrophils can induce type 1 diabetes by colonizing pancreatic islets and interacting with other immune cells, according to exciting findings that shed new light on their role in the pathogenesis of the disease. Knowing more about the function of neutrophils in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes will help in early diagnosis, treatment, and even prevention of the disease.
