what is type one diabetes and how to manage t
Diabetes mellitus type 1 (also known as type 1 diabetes) is a form of diabetes mellitus in which not enough insulin is produced. This results in high blood sugar levels in the body. The classical symptoms are frequent urination, increased thirst, increased hunger, and weight loss.
Eyes: Because of type 1 diabetes, you can develop cataracts and/or retinopathy in your eyes. Retinopathy, or damage to the retina, is much more common than cataracts in type 1 diabetes, but both can cause loss of vision. To avoid eye problems associated with type 1 diabetes, keep your blood glucose under control and have yearly dilated eye check-ups to monitor your eye health.
