Type 1 Diabetes
This disorder is distinguished by unusual high blood sugar levels. It can develop at any time; however, it often starts during adolescence. In Type 1 diabetes, beta cells stop creating insulin. Insulin controls the amount of glucose that passes from blood to cells, and the change to energy. The insufficiency of insulin would result in the incompetence to utilize sugar for energy or to manage the quantity of sugar in the blood. Type 1 Diabetes happens in about 10-20 in 100,000 yearly in the USA. This disorder follows similar rate of occurrence in Canada, Europe, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. In countries such as Asia and South America, Type 1 diabetes arises less frequently. It can be as few as in 1 per 1,000,000 yearly. Type 1 diabetes represents 5-10% of diabetes worldwide. Over the past 20 years, the disorder has been growing 2-5% yearly. Uncontrolled type 1 diabetes can cause diabetic ketoacidosis. In severe cases, this can progress to coma and death.People with type 1 diabetes are also at increased risk of heart attacks, strokes, and problems with urinary and sexual function.
