    If the damage done destroys the pancreas's ability to produce insulin, then yes. The person would be a type 1 diabetic because their pancreas had stopped producing insulin.

    pancreas would probably have to be removed thus rendering patient as type 1 as they would no longer have the insulin available to counter their glucose levels.
