About Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is a chronic autoimmune condition in which the body’s immune system attacks the beta cells of the pancreas that produce insulin.
Therefore, the pancreas has little or no insulin production that makes lifelong insulin therapy necessary.
Main Features
- Autoimmune disorder
- Usually develops during childhood or teenage years, even if adults may develop it too
- Lifelong insulin therapy is required
- Constant monitoring of blood sugar is vital
- Patients need continuous medical care
Type 1 diabetes is not primarily a result of certain lifestyle decisions or insulin resistance, unlike Type 2 diabetes.
