Type-1 diabetes
Autoimmune disease, a form of diabetes mellitus that occurs when insulin-producing cells are destroyed by the immune system
Type 1 diabetes (T1D), or type 1 diabetes mellitus, is an autoimmune disease that occurs when the body's immune system destroys beta cells in the pancreas that produce the hormone insulin. Insulin is used by the body to store and convert blood sugar into energy. T1D results in high blood sugar levels in the body prior to treatment due to the lack of insulin. Common symptoms include frequent urination (Polyuria), increased thirst (Polydipsia), increased hunger (Polyphagia), weight loss, and other changes. Additional symptoms may include blurry vision, tiredness, and slow wound healing. While some cases take longer, symptoms usually appear within weeks to a few months.
