Type 1 Diabetes
This is a disease whereby the body attacks the pancreas and hence makes the pancreas
unable to manufacture insulin or makes the body manufacture very limited amount of insulin. As
far as the risk features are concerned, there is currently no known causative agent for type
1diabetes. The symptoms for type 1 diabetes appear more rapidly. The management of type 1
diabetes is done by taking control of an individual’s blood sugar level (Atkinson , Eisenbarth,
& Michels, 2014). There is no cure for type 1 diabetes but there is continued research for the
same. If you have type 1 diabetes, it means that you have an autoimmune condition. The latter
means that the body has attacked and destroyed the cells that make a hormone called insulin and
hence the body is not able to produce any insulin. Insulin is required since it assists in taking
glucose into the body cells (Atkinson , Eisenbarth, & Michels, 2014).
