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.
