Type 1 Diabetes

Type 1 diabetes is a chronic autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. This leads to little or no insulin production, making it challenging for the body to regulate blood sugar levels. Common symptoms include excessive thirst, frequent urination, extreme fatigue, and unintended weight loss. Diagnosis typically occurs in children and young adults, but it can develop at any age. Managing Type 1 diabetes involves lifelong insulin therapy, regular blood sugar monitoring, and a balanced diet. Patients often use insulin pumps or injections to maintain optimal glucose levels. Continuous education and support are vital for navigating the daily challenges of the condition, helping to prevent long-term complications like cardiovascular disease and nerve damage.
