Living with Type 1 diabetes is challenging but manageable. At Dr. Mohan’s Diabetes Specialities Centre in India, we offer advanced Type 1 diabetes care tailored to each patient’s needs.
What is Type 1 Diabetes?
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition. The body’s immune system attacks insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. Without insulin, glucose cannot enter cells, leading to high blood sugar levels.
Symptoms of Type 1 Diabetes
- Excessive thirst and frequent urination.
- Unexplained weight loss.
- Fatigue and irritability.
- Blurred vision.
Recognizing these symptoms early can prevent complications.
Causes and Risk Factors
The cause of Type 1 diabetes remains unknown, but genetic factors and viral infections may contribute. Unlike Type 2 diabetes, Type 1 is not linked to lifestyle or obesity.
Complications of Uncontrolled Type 1 Diabetes
If left unmanaged, Type 1 diabetes can lead to serious health issues, such as:
- Ketoacidosis: A life-threatening condition caused by the buildup of ketones.
- Cardiovascular Disease: Increased risk of heart attacks and strokes.
- Neuropathy: Nerve damage causing tingling and numbness.
- Nephropathy: Kidney damage leading to potential kidney failure.
- Retinopathy: Eye damage that increases the risk of blindness.
Early intervention and consistent management are essential to prevent these complications.
