In type 1 diabetes the pancreas is unable to produce enough insulin. This means the concentration of glucose in the blood becomes too high which can lead to coma and damage to capillaries.

People are usually born with type 1 diabetes though it can be caused later in life by damaging the pancreas.

Carefully controlling the diet and monitoring the concentration of glucose in the blood can reduce symptoms.

If the concentration of glucose gets too low the person can eat some food that has a lot of sugar in it.

If the concentration of glucose gets too high the person can inject insulin into the fatty tissue in their body.
