Insulin dependent diabetes (IDDM). Diabetes that needs to be treated with insulin from the onset. is caused by the pancreas not producing insulin.

A type of diabetes in which the insulin-producing cells (called beta cells) of the pancreas are damaged. People with type 1 diabetes produce little or no insulin, so glucose cannot get into the body's cells for use as energy. This causes blood glucose to rise. People with type 1 diabetes must use insulin injections to control their blood glucose.

Type 1A diabetes results from autoimmune beta cell destruction, which usually leads to insulin deficiency. Type 1B diabetes is also characterized by insulin deficiency as well as a tendency to develop ketosis. However, individuals with type 1B diabetes lack immunologic markers indicative of an autoimmune destructive process of the beta cells. The mechanisms leading to beta cell destruction are unknown. It is estimated that 5-10% of Americans who are diagnosed with diabetes have type 1 diabetes.

The rapidly developing form of diabetes. With type 1 diabetes, the body does not produce enough insulin and insulin must be injected.

Previously called Juvenile Diabetes, Type 1 occurs when the pancreas cannot produce insulin and usually occurs during childhood. People with Type 1 diabetes must take insulin shots to metabolize sugars into energy. Insulin cannot be delivered in pill form because it is broken down by the acids in the stomach. About 1.2 million people in the United States have Type 1 diabetes.

A condition in which the body stops making insulin

a disorder primarily caused by failure of the pancreas to release enough insulin, characterized by hypo- and hyperglycemia, glucosuria, water and electrolyte loss, ketoacidosis and coma; long-term complications can affect the nervous, renal and cardiovascular systems

Also called Juvenile Diabetes. Onset usually occurs in childhood or adolescence. The islet cells of the pancreas come under attack from the bodies T-Cells. This renders the body incapable of producing insulin. Sufferers must inject insulin to control sugar levels.

The type of diabetes in which the pancreas produces no insulin or extremely small amounts; people with type 1 need to take insulin injections in order to live.

A condition characterized by high blood glucose concentrations caused by a total lack of insulin. The pancreas then produces little or no insulin. Most diabetic dogs and cats require insulin treatment. Unit of insulin: The basic measure of insulin. U40 insulin means 40 units of insulin per milliliter (mL) of solution. Caninsulin is a U40 insulin.

Type 1 diabetes develops if the body is unable to produce any insulin. This type of diabetes usually appears before the age of 40. It is treated by insulin injections, diet and regular physical activity.

Also known as insulin dependent diabetes, occurs when the pancreas stops making insulin. Requires daily insulin injections for survival.

(or insulin-dependent diabetes) occurs when the pancreas no longer produces any or very little insulin. The body needs insulin to use sugar as an energy source. Type 1 diabetes usually develops in childhood or adolescence and affects 10% of people with diabetes.

This form of diabetes used to be known as juvenile or insulin-dependent diabetes. It is the form of diabetes disease that usually strikes young people, where the body's immune system destroys the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas.

A condition that usually occurs in children and young adults, and causes your body to make little or no insulin. It used to be called juvenile diabetes.

A condition characterized by abrupt onset of symptoms, insulinopenia, dependence on exogenous insulin to sustain life and a tendency to develop ketoacidosis.

Formerly called juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes, is usually first diagnosed in children, teenagers, or young adults. In this form of diabetes, the beta cells of the pancreas no longer make insulin because the body's immune system has attacked and destroyed them.

An autoimmune condition in which the body attacks and destroys beta cells. Beta cells are a vital component inside the pancreas that create insulin.

Otherwise known as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), type 1 diabetes is found most often in childhood, with secondary peaks in early and late adulthood. It is characterised by rapid onset of clinical symptoms and requires prompt medical treatment and regular use of insulin for survival. It is also termed juvenile-onset diabetes.

a condition in which the body's immune system destroys the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. Insulin allows glucose to enter the cells of the body to provide energy. Persons with type 1diabetes must take daily insulin injections.

where little or no insulin is made, usually occurring under the age of 30 and requiring insulin injections for life. Also known as insulin dependent and juvenile onset diabetes

a form of diabetes that tends to develop before age 30 but may occur at any age. It's caused by an immune system attack on the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas. When the cells are destroyed, the pancreas can no longer produce insulin. People who have type 1 diabetes must take insulin to survive.

A condition in which the pancreas makes so little insulin that the body can't use blood glucose as energy. Type 1 diabetes most often occurs in people younger than age 30 and must be controlled with daily insulin injections.

A disease in which the body mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. This means the body produces little or no insulin, making it impossible for glucose from the food we eat to enter the bodyâ€(tm)s cells and give them energy.

See Diabetes, type 1.

Also called ‘juvenile onset diabetes'; occurs when very little or no insulin is produced and therefore insulin must be administered. Onset of Type 1 diabetes is more common in children and adolescents and this type accounts for approximately 5% of all people with diabetes.

A condition characterized by high blood glucose levels caused by a lack of insulin production. Type 1 diabetes occurs when the body's immune system destroys the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. The pancreas then produces little or no insulin. Type 1 diabetes develops most often in young people but can appear in adults and affects 10% of people living with diabetes. People with type 1 diabetes must take insulin daily to sustain life.

(dye-uh-BEET-eez) Previously known as “insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus,” (IDDM) or “juvenile diabetes.” Type 1 diabetes is a life-long condition in which the pancreas stops making insulin. Without insulin, the body is not able to use glucose (blood sugar) for energy. To treat the disease, a person must inject insulin, follow a diet plan, exercise daily, and test blood sugar several times a day. Type 1 diabetes usually begins before the age of 30.
