TYPE 1 DIABETES

WHAT IS TYPE 1 DIABETES?

Type 1 Diabetes, also known as Juvenile Diabetes, is a chronic condition in which the pancreas is unable to produce enough insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. This form of diabetes is typically diagnosed in children and young adults, and it is an autoimmune disorder. It occurs when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.

SYMPTOMS

The symptoms of Type 1 Diabetes can come on suddenly and include:

  • Increased thirst and urination
  • Extreme hunger
  • Fatigue
  • Blurred vision
  • Slow-healing sores
  • Unexpected weight loss
  • Irritability
  • Bedwetting in children who previously didn't wet the bed during the night

DIAGNOSIS

Type 1 Diabetes is diagnosed through a combination of symptoms, physical examination, and blood tests. A blood sugar test, also called a hemoglobin A1C test, can confirm the diagnosis.

TREATMENT

Type 1 Diabetes is treated with daily insulin injections or the use of an insulin pump. This replaces the insulin that the body is unable to produce. People with Type 1 Diabetes will also need to monitor their blood sugar levels regularly and make adjustments to their insulin doses based on the results.
