Type 1 Diabetes   

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder.   The immune system of the body attacks beta cells of pancreas that are responsible for producing insulin and destroy them. As a result pancreas either produces little or no insulin.

 

Causes of Type 1 Diabetes 

Till so far the cause of the attack of immune system to destroy the beta cells is not known. Still it is believed that contributing factor of type 1 disease could be genes, environment or even in some case viruses are involved. This diabetes type 1 accounts for about 5% - 10 % of the entire identified cases of diabetes in the  United States of America. It is more common in young adults and children but it can be detected at any age.

 

Signs of Type 1 Diabetes 

Signs of type 1 diabetes start to appear in a short period of time; though destruction of beta cells by autoimmune system can sometime take few years. The early warning signs of type 1 diabetes include

 

  • Increased thirst
  • Frequent Urination
  • Unquenchable hunger
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Extreme tiredness and fatigue

 

If these symptoms of diabetes are ignored and diabetes is not diagnosed in time it can put the diabetic person into a life threatening situation like diabetic coma.
