Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. This leads to high blood sugar levels. Type 1 Diabetes typically appears in childhood or adolescence and requires lifelong management with insulin therapy, blood sugar monitoring, and a specialised diet.
