Type 1 Diabetes is less common than Type 2 Diabetes. It generally affects children, teens and youth. In the United States the usual age for diagnosis is around age 14. Type 1 Diabetes is when there is a deficiency or lack of Insulin in the body.
The pancreatic cells quit producing Insulin for an unknown reason. When there is not enough Insulin in the blood, the blood glucose level rises unchecked. Symptoms of hyperglycemia can result from a too-high glucose level in the blood.
Hyperglycemia is when blood glucose levels are too high. The meaning is from hyper meaning high, glyc meaning glucose, and emia meaning blood. Common symptoms of hyperglycemia are blurred vision, fatigue, weight loss, poor wound healing, dry mouth, dry or itchy skin, and male impotence, and also recurring infections.
Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune disorder so the body actually creates the disease. Experts believe that the potential for developing Type 1 Diabetes is a genetic tendency or perhaps triggered by a viral infection such as having Influenza, mumps, rubella, measles, or encephalitis.
Two individuals both coming down with the same virus and only one of the two (the one genetically prone to diabetes) will actually develop diabetes and the other will not.
Children of Type 1 Diabetic fathers are more likely to develop Type 1 themselves than children of Type 1 Diabetic mothers according to research.
Type 1 Diabetes is treated with insulin shots, which may be done using an insulin pump. Insulin would be destroyed if it were to enter the stomach so it has to be injected.
According to a study conducted by the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health, gaining Body Fat may be a good thing for individuals who have Type 1 Diabetes. The study showed that individuals with Type 1 Diabetes who gained weight over time were less likely to die.
The conclusion was that when individuals gained weight it protected people with Type 1 diabetes from premature death. Gaining a reasonable amount of weight is a sign that the individual is getting enough insulin and are managing their disease.
Type 1 Diabetes affects more than 3 million individual in the United States.
Beta cell regeneration is research being conducted in order to find a cure for Type 1 Diabetes, according to the Sanford Project. If the project is successful at determining the possibility of regenerating the beta cells within the pancreas that would be excellent news for anyone suffering from Type 1 Diabetes.
