Diabetes Type 1

Type 1 Diabetes is a chronic autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. This leads to little or no insulin production, causing blood glucose levels to rise. It typically develops in children, teens, or young adults and requires lifelong insulin therapy. Unlike Type 2, it is not caused by lifestyle factors and cannot be prevented. Effective management includes insulin administration, blood sugar monitoring, and a balanced diet to prevent complications.
