Type 1 Diabetes

Description

Type 1 diabetes, also known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes, is a chronic condition in which the pancreas produces little to no insulin, the hormone responsible for regulating blood sugar levels.This is due to an autoimmune reaction in which the body's immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. As a result, individuals with type 1 diabetes require insulin injections or an insulin pump to manage their blood sugar levels and prevent hyperglycemia (high blood sugar).
