Type 1 diabetes
Also known as insulin-dependent diabetes or juvenile diabetes, type 1 diabetes happens when your pancreas produces way too little insulin or no insulin at all. This occurs because the patient’s immune system destroys the insulin-producing cells by mistake.
So, when the insulin-producing cells are destroyed, the hormone called insulin is no longer released. Sadly for most type 1 diabetes patients, their health condition is rarely reversed. Still, it doesn’t mean that they can’t improve their numbers. Dietary changes could help them control blood sugar levels, so they don’t really have to depend entirely on insulin and meds.
