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.
