T1D (Type 1 Diabetes)

Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is a chronic condition where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Insulin is a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels. Without enough insulin, blood sugar becomes too high, which can lead to various health problems. T1D usually develops early in life and requires lifelong management through insulin therapy, regular blood sugar monitoring, and lifestyle adjustments. It is different from Type 2 Diabetes, which is often related to insulin resistance and lifestyle factors. Proper management allows individuals with T1D to live healthy, active lives.
