Key Stage 4
Meaning
Type 1 Diabetes is a non-communicable disease caused by a damaged pancreas.
About Type 1 Diabetes
- 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.
Treatments for Type 1 Diabetes
- 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.
