Type 1 diabetes

Type 1 diabetes was called juvenile diabetes prior to 1997 because it was diagnosed in young people typically. Type 1 diabetes is also called insulin-dependent diabetes. Usually, type 1 diabetes is first diagnosed in younger people, but it can occur at any age.

Type 1 diabetes is the second most common chronic disease in children (after asthma). About 13,000 new cases are diagnosed in the U.S. each year. Patients with type 1 diabetes make up about 5 percent to 10 percent of all cases of diabetes. It most commonly appears in children about 14 years old.

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the beta cells in the pancreas that make insulin. As a result, the pancreas does not make insulin, a hormone which helps use blood sugar (glucose) for energy. The cells become starved of energy and there is an excess of glucose in the blood. People with Type 1 diabetes must have daily injections of insulin to live. Proper diet, exercise and home blood sugar monitoring are essential to manage the disease.

Food and exercise must also be balanced because of the risk of hypoglycemia, low blood sugar, and hyperglycemia, high blood sugar.
