Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic, life-long condition in which the body is unable to produce sufficient insulin to regulate its blood glucose levels, resulting in high levels of glucose in the blood. It is an autoimmune disorder where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas. It is one of the most common chronic childhood diseases and is estimated to affect around 1.25 million people in the United States alone. Treatment involves a combination of lifestyle modifications, meal planning, insulin injections, and exercise. Early diagnosis and effective management of diabetes can help prevent serious complications such as kidney damage, nerve damage, diabetes-related heart disease, blindness, and amputations.
