In type 1 diabetes the pancreas does not produce insulin because the cells which make insulin have been destroyed by the immune system.

Insulin replacement therapy is critical for the person with type 1 diabetes to live. It is as important to balance insulin replacement with physical activity, healthy eating and stress management to avoid or reduce the short and long term complications of diabetes.

Type 1 diabetes accounts for 10-15% of all people with diabetes and usually occurs in people under 30 years, but can occur at any age.

Signs may include the following:
Thirst.
Frequent urination.
Lethargy or being very tired.
Blurred vision.
Sudden unexplained/unplanned weight loss.
Infections or wounds that don't improve.
Constant hunger.
Mood swings.
The Cause

Type 1 diabetes is classified as an autoimmune condition. An autoimmune condition is where the body's defence system (called the immune system) is triggered to attack healthy tissue.

In type 1 diabetes, the immune system is triggered by a gene or genes. People are born either with or without the genes (13 genes have been identified). People without the genes will not develop type 1 diabetes and people born with the gene may or may not develop type 1 diabetes.

This gene is thought to have been stimulated by an environmental event. Once the gene has been stimulated it triggers the immune system to attack the cells of the pancreas that produce insulin and slowly destroys them. The destruction of these cells reaches a critical point where there are not enough cells to produce enough insulin to control blood glucose levels, and the person then starts to develop the signs and symptoms of diabetes.

Treatment Options

Insulin replacement therapy available today is given either by multiple daily injections of insulin or an insulin pump.

Another form of insulin replacement therapy is an islet cell (the cells that produce insulin) transplant. A transplant is not a cure, it is a different form of treatment. Depending on the circumstances, it may be an option. If so, it means weighing up the pros and cons of insulin therapy against the pros and cons of anti-rejection therapy and what is best suited to you. The best person to discuss this with is your diabetes specialist.

Finding a Cure

At this time, there is no cure for type 1 diabetes. It is hoped that the multiple research studies currently being conducted world-wide will lead to better knowledge about type 1 diabetes and, eventually, a cure.

Latent Autoimmune Diabetes of Adults

Latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA) is a slow progressing form of type 1 diabetes that can be managed in the early stages without insulin therapy. It has been reported that many people with LADA are misdiagnosed with type 2 diabetes.

Keywords

Autoimmune condition: A condition where the immune system has been triggered to attack certain areas of the body and damage or destroy them. Examples of other autoimmune conditions include rheumatoid arthritis, a condition called Hashimoto's thyroiditis and coeliac dsease.

Environmental event: An occurrence where an outside, environmental factor can trigger changes in the body. In the diabetes, the environmental event is thought to be a virus which triggers an autoimmune response. Much research is being done worldwide to find, and eventually control, the impact of this environmental event.

Insulin: The hormone or chemical messenger that controls blood glucose levels by stopping them from going too high.

Islet Cells: The cells of the pancreas that produce insulin.

Pancreas: An organ in the body with multiple functions, one is producing insulin. The other functions are unaffected by diabetes.

Keep Healthy Blood Sugar - Enjoy A Fuller Life

People with diabetes need to be cautious about so-called diabetic diets with promises of helping them control their diabetes. Even organizations like Diabetes UK have suggested a cautious approach to using these pre-packaged meal plans. Why?

Apart from being unnecessarily expensive, diabetic diets may be high in fat and low in important good carbohydrate content. To successfully market these products, it would be expected that the same effort would be made to appeal to the taste buds as is done in selling other food products.

Diabetes diet note

Most diabetic diets are designed to address the blood sugar problem by limiting or restricting total caloric intake. What if there was a way to stimulate the muscles to make use of the "extra" calories instead?

Commercial competition will most definitely be a determining factor in the production and marketing of most of these products.

Regular diabetic Exchange diet

For most diabetic diets, the primary method used in the quest to achieve normal blood glucose concentration is regulation of carbohydrate intake. Early after my diagnosis, I was given a specially-designed diabetic diet based on the Exchange scheme. It included 3 meals and 3 snacks per day, but instead of normalizing, my blood glucose level became more and more erratic.

These diabetic diets are designed to address the blood sugar problem by limiting total caloric intake of the various food groups; namely, carbohyrates, milk, fruits, vegetables, etc.
The Exchange diet has been met with mixed reactions, since many diabetics find it restrictive to count carbs. By eating foods with very high fiber and complex carbohydrate contents, I have weaned myself from eating six times per day to eating not more than 3 times each day.

Opinions vary regarding the usefulness of diabetic diets.

However, my experience as a type 2 diabetic has taught me that diet alone does not work. In fact, it makes no sense to take on a diet that you may not reasonably be on for the rest of your life. With the anti-diabetes diet and lifestyle, one can eat normally and maintain normal blood glucose levels without drug mediation.

It is now known that carbohydrate does not cause diabetes, however it tends to get blamed for the rise in blood glucose levels. Many diabetics now have diets that severely restrict carbohydrate intake. Where do they get the additional energy necessary for normal function?

It was previously thought that fats are a good alternative source of energy for the diabetic. we read this piece of advice, "The decrease in carbohydrate must be compensated by an increase in fat.

Research conducted at the University of Kentucky showed that body fat and dietary fat are the leading causes of type 2 diabetes.No matter which type of diabetes you suffered,
