Type 1 Diabetes
In type 1 diabetes, the disease process is more severe than with type 2, and onset is usually in childhood:
-Beta cells in the pancreas that produce insulin are gradually destroyed. Eventually insulin deficiency is absolute.
-Without insulin to move glucose into cells, blood glucose levels become excessively high, a condition known as hyperglycemia.
-Because the body cannot utilize the sugar, it spills over into the urine and is lost.
-Weakness, weight loss, and excessive hunger and thirst are among the consequences of this "starvation in the midst of plenty."
-Patients become dependent on administered insulin for survival.
