We do not know what causes this auto-immune reaction. Type 1 diabetes is not linked to modifiable lifestyle factors. There is no cure and it cannot be prevented.<\/p><p><strong>Type 1 Diabetes:<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Occurs when the pancreas does not produce insulin<\/li><li>Represents around 10 per cent of all cases of diabetes and is one of the most common chronic childhood conditions<\/li><li>Onset is usually abrupt and the symptoms obvious<\/li><li>Symptoms can include excessive thirst and urination, unexplained weight loss, weakness and fatigue and blurred vision<\/li><li>Is managed with insulin injections several times a day or the use of an insulin pump.<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>What happens to the pancreas?<\/strong><\/p><p>In type 1 diabetes, the pancreas, a large gland behind the stomach, stops making insulin because the cells that make the insulin have been destroyed by the body\u2019s immune system. Without insulin, the body\u2019s cells cannot turn glucose (sugar), into energy.<\/p><p>People with type 1 diabetes depend on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diabetesaustralia.com.au\/insulin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored ugc\">insulin<\/a> every day of their lives to replace the insulin the body cannot produce. They must test their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diabetesaustralia.com.au\/blood-glucose-monitoring\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored ugc\">blood glucose levels<\/a> several times throughout the day.<\/p><p>The onset of type 1 diabetes occurs most frequently in people under 30 years, however new research suggests almost half of all people who develop the condition are diagnosed over the age of 30. About 10-15 per cent of all cases of diabetes are type 1.<\/p><p><strong>What happens if people with type 1 diabetes don\u2019t receive insulin?<\/strong><\/p><p>Without insulin the body burns its own fats as a substitute which releases chemical substances in the blood. Without ongoing injections of insulin, the dangerous chemical substances will accumulate and can be life threatening if it is not treated. This is a condition call <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diabetesaustralia.com.au\/ketoacidosis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored ugc\">ketoacidosis<\/a>.<\/p><p><strong>What causes Type 1 diabetes?<\/strong><\/p><p>The exact cause of type 1 diabetes is not yet known, but we do know it has a strong family link and cannot be prevented. We also know that it has nothing to do with lifestyle, although maintaining a healthy lifestyle is very important in helping to manage type 1 diabetes.<\/p><p>At this stage nothing can be done to prevent or cure Type 1 diabetes.<\/p><p><strong>Symptoms<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Being excessively thirsty<\/li><li>Passing more urine<\/li><li>Feeling tired and lethargic<\/li><li>Always feeling hungry<\/li><li>Having cuts that heal slowly<\/li><li>Itching, skin infections<\/li><li>Blurred vision<\/li><li>Unexplained weight loss<\/li><li>Mood swings<\/li><li>Headaches<\/li><li>Feeling dizzy<\/li><li>Leg cramps.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Type 1 Diabetes Type 1 diabetes is an auto-immune condition in which the immune system is activated to destroy the cells in the pancreas which produce insulin.
