What Is Type 1 Diabetes?
1. Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is a condition where the patient does not have enough insulin in their body. In some cases, they may have no insulin at all. This is because the hormone is not being produced by the pancreas as it usually would. This, in turn, leaves the patient unable to regulate the levels of sugar in their blood.
Type 1 diabetes can cause some very unwelcome symptoms and, in some cases, it can cause dangerous complications. There is also no known cure for the condition, and the patient will need to carefully manage it for the rest of their lives.
