Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus is an autoimmune 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, providing energy to cells. Without enough insulin, blood sugar remains high, leading to symptoms like increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and blurred vision. It typically develops in children or young adults but can occur at any age. Managing the condition involves regular insulin injections, blood sugar monitoring, and lifestyle adjustments to maintain healthy blood glucose levels and prevent complications.
