Answer
Pancreas
Explanation
Diabetes is a disease in which your blood glucose, or blood sugar, levels are too high. In people with type 1 diabetes, their immune system attacks and destroys the insulin producing cells in their pancreas, the gland behind the stomach. This disease can happen at any age, but it does occur frequently during childhood or adolescence. Following this reasoning, the organ not functioning correctly is indeed the "pancreas".
