Understanding Type 1 Diabetes
Overview
Type 1 diabetes is a less common form of diabetes, predominantly affecting younger individuals, usually under 40, and most often under 14. Although diagnosis after 40 is possible, it's rare. This condition is serious due to its connection with insulin deficiency, which stems from the pancreas failing to produce the necessary insulin to regulate blood glucose levels. Those with type 1 diabetes often experience symptoms of hyperglycemia.Symptoms of Hyperglycemia
Hyperglycemia refers to excessively high blood sugar levels. Common symptoms include:
- Frequent hunger
- Excessive urination
- Increased thirst
- Blurred vision
- Fatigue
- Weight loss
- Slow healing of wounds or cuts
- Dry mouth and itchy skin
- Impotence in males
- Weakened immune system, leading to frequent infections
The persistent hunger arises because the body cannot utilize glucose for energy. As a result, fatigue is common, and glucose is excreted during frequent trips to the bathroom. This leads to dehydration and increased thirst. Symptoms may develop gradually or appear together.
Prevalence and Causes
The likelihood of developing type 1 diabetes ranges from 3.7 to 20 per 100,000 people. Over 700,000 Americans have type 1 diabetes, comprising about 10% of the diabetic population, with type 2 being more prevalent. This condition is often linked to an autoimmune disorder where the body misidentifies its own tissues as foreign, hindering insulin production. Viral infections like mumps, rubella, measles, influenza, and polio have been suggested as potential triggers. Additionally, genetics play a role, with a higher risk if a family member has the condition.
Treatment
Treatment for type 1 diabetes involves insulin injections. These injections help manage blood sugar levels by ensuring that insulin is absorbed into the bloodstream and utilized by cells. For further information, you can visit [this resource](http://www.all-about-diabetes-symptom.com/).
