What is Diabetes Type I ?
Type I Diabetes is a chronic condition where the immune system destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. This lack of insulin prevents the body from controlling blood sugar properly, leading to symptoms such as frequent urination, excessive thirst, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, and blurred vision. It often develops in children or young adults, and unlike Type 2 diabetes, it is not linked to lifestyle factors. Treatment requires lifelong insulin therapy and regular monitoring of blood glucose to prevent serious complications affecting the heart, kidneys, eyes, and nerves.
Symptoms of Type I Diabetes
Type I Diabetes commonly affects blood sugar regulation and can lead to serious complications if not managed.
Frequent Urination (Polyuria) – Needing to urinate often due to high blood sugar levels.
Excessive Thirst (Polydipsia) – Feeling very thirsty and drinking more than usual.
Unexplained Weight Loss – Losing weight despite normal or increased appetite.
Extreme Fatigue – Feeling unusually tired or weak even with adequate rest.
Blurred Vision – Difficulty seeing clearly due to changes in blood sugar affecting the eyes.
Increased Hunger (Polyphagia) – Feeling hungry more often as the body cannot use sugar properly.
Causes of Type I Diabetes
Type I Diabetes occurs when the body’s immune system attacks the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, preventing proper blood sugar regulation.
Autoimmune Reaction – The immune system mistakenly destroys insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas.
Genetic Factors – Family history or specific genes may increase the risk of developing Type I Diabetes.
Environmental Triggers – Certain viruses or infections may trigger the autoimmune response in susceptible individuals.
Unknown Factors – In many cases, the exact cause cannot be determined, though a combination of genetics and environment is likely.
Immune System Imbalance – Abnormal activity of immune cells may lead to a stronger attack on pancreatic cells.
Geographical Factors – Higher incidence is seen in colder climates, suggesting a possible link with environmental conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions.
How is Type I Diabetes diagnosed?
It is diagnosed with blood tests that measure blood sugar levels, HbA1c, and the presence of diabetes-related autoantibodies.
How often should blood sugar be checked in Type I Diabetes?
It varies by patient, but generally blood sugar needs to be monitored multiple times daily—before meals, before bedtime, and sometimes more often if insulin doses are being adjusted.
Do all patients with Type I Diabetes need insulin?
Yes. Since the pancreas no longer produces insulin, lifelong insulin therapy is essential for survival and blood sugar control.
What is diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)?
DKA is a serious and potentially life-threatening complication of Type I Diabetes that happens when the body produces too many ketones due to lack of insulin. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and fruity-smelling breath.
