Type 1 diabetes is where your body cannot make a hormone called insulin. This causes your blood sugar to get too high.

Type 1 diabetes can happen at any age and if left undiagnosed, it can be fatal. The most common symptoms are the 4 Ts: Toilet, Thirsty, Tired, Thinner.

If you think you or your child has any of these symptoms, ask for an urgent GP appointment or call 111.
