• #1 Type 1 Diabetes: Causes, Symptoms, Complications & Treatment

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/21500-type-1-diabetes

  Type 1 diabetes develops when your immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys cells in your pancreas that make insulin. This destruction can happen over months or years, ultimately resulting in a total lack (deficiency) of insulin. […] Type 1 diabetes is a challenging condition to manage properly, especially consistently throughout your lifetime. Because of this, T1D is associated with several complications. Close to 50% of people with Type 1 diabetes will develop a serious complication over their lifetime. […] If you’re experiencing symptoms of diabetes-related ketoacidosis (DKA), such as high blood sugar, nausea and vomiting and rapid breathing, get to the nearest emergency room (ER) as soon as possible. DKA is life-threatening and requires immediate medical care.

  Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition that leads to the destruction of pancreatic beta cells which in turn causes insufficient insulin production, resulting in hyperglycemia. Type 1 diabetes occurs when there is the autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells leading to insufficient insulin production and resulting hyperglycemia. With insulin replacement, type 1 diabetes is a chronic disease requiring intensive effort on the part of the person with diabetes and caregivers. There is an emphasis on reducing hyperglycemia while minimizing the risk of hypoglycemia. At presentation, children usually have a history of polyuria, polydipsia and weight loss for days to months. If the diagnosis is delayed, there may be vomiting, lethargy, altered mental status, dehydration, and acidosis. Some children will present with ketoacidosis that is associated with the following features: Smell of ketones, Dehydration, Abdominal pain, Kussmaul breathing, Vomiting, Coma, Altered mental status. The life expectancy is reduced by 10-20 years for many individuals. The disorder is associated with numerous complications including hypoglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis. For children, managing diabetes can lead to enormous stress and depression is common. Children particularly die from DKA chiefly due to delayed diagnosis.

The immune system has started attacking insulin-producing beta cells, although blood sugar levels remain normal and no symptoms are present. […] Stage 2, like stage 1, includes individuals with two or more diabetes-related autoantibodies, but now blood sugar levels have become abnormal due to increasing loss of beta cells.

[…] The information presented on this page has addressed what is called Stage 3 type 1 diabetes. However, earlier stages of type 1 diabetes occur before people develop symptoms. In Stage 1 type 1 diabetes, a person has at least two antibodies against the pancreas, but has completely normal blood glucose levels. In Stage 2 type 1 diabetes, these antibodies cause enough damage to the pancreas that blood glucose levels are slightly elevated, but the patient still does not have symptoms of diabetes. Stage 2 type 1 diabetes is diagnosed based on the results of oral glucose tolerance testing. In Stage 3 type 1 diabetes, the damage to the pancreas continues to increase, symptoms of diabetes develop, and treatment with insulin is needed. Everyone who has multiple positive antibodies against the pancreas will develop diabetes at some time in their life.
