Solution
The answer is the second one (Type 1 diabetes): the result of an insulin deficiency that occurs when insulin-producing cells in the pancreas are destroyed.
Explanation for each option:
Stuttering: This is a speech disorder that involves frequent and significant problems with the normal fluency and flow of speech. It is not related to insulin deficiency or the pancreas.
Type 1 diabetes: This is a chronic condition in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin because the insulin-producing cells (beta cells) are destroyed, often by an autoimmune process. This directly matches the description given in the question.
Hypertension: This refers to high blood pressure, a condition in which the force of the blood against the artery walls is too high. It is not caused by insulin deficiency or the destruction of pancreatic cells.
Asthma: This is a condition in which a person's airways become inflamed, narrow, and swell, producing extra mucus, which makes it difficult to breathe. It is not related to insulin deficiency or the pancreas.
Summary:
The correct answer is Type 1 diabetes, as it directly corresponds to the condition described in the question.
