Type 1 Diabetes

Type 1 diabetes is also known as juvenile diabetes, this type occurs when the body does not produce insulin. People with type I diabetes are insulin-dependent, which means they have to take artificial insulin every day to survive. Also known as juvenile diabetes, this type occurs when the body does not produce insulin. It is caused by the body attacking the pancreas with antibodies. In people with type 1 diabetes, the damaged pancreas does not produce insulin. It can be caused by a genetic predisposition. It could also be the result of defective beta cells in the pancreas that normally produce insulin.

Symptoms of Type 1 Diabetes

• Dry skin and mouth
• Flushed face
• Nausea

Causes of Type 1 Diabetes

The exact cause of type 1 diabetes is that your immune system which usually produces harmful bacteria or viruses - attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. This leaves not only a small insulin or whatever you have. Instead of transporting them into cells, sugar accumulates in the bloodstream.

Type 1 is considered a type of mixture of genetic infection and environmental factors, although these factors remain clear. Weight is not considered to be a factor in type 1 diabetes.

Diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes

Type 1 diabetes is generally diagnosed by a series of tests. Some can be performed quickly, while others require hours of preparation or monitoring.Type 1 diabetes often develops rapidly. People are diagnosed if they meet one of the following criteria:

• Fasting blood glucose> 126 mg / dL in two separate tests
• Random blood glucose> 200 mg / dL, along with symptoms of diabetes
• Hemoglobin A1c> 6.5 in two separate assays

Complications of Type 1 Diabetes

High blood sugar levels can cause damage to various parts of the body. If diabetes is not managed properly, the risk of the following complications increases:

• Increased risk of heart attack
• Eye problems, including blindness
• Nerve damage
• Skin infections, especially of the feet, which may require amputation in severe cases
• Kidney injury
