Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in children and young adults, and was previously known as juvenile diabetes. In type 1 diabetes, the body does not produce insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar (glucose), starches and other food into energy needed for daily life.
Finding out you have diabetes is scary. But don't panic. Type 1 diabetes is serious, but people with diabetes can live long, healthy, happy lives.

Type One Dm is different than type two in several ways. First of all, in type 1 the body lacks a source of endogenous insulin. The exact reason why this happens is not understood, but it is believed to have an auto immune component. Type Ii usually results from decreased insulin output and or decreased sensitivity of the cells to insulin. I hope this helps!

It means your body doesn't make enough insulin (or in some cases no insulin) as a result you need to take insulin injections. It's also called Insulin Dependant Diabetes Mellitis (IDDM)

type I diabetes is diagnosed in childhood and is insulin dependent throughout your life, although I have heard there are changes coming about.
