Type I diabetes, a condition
Type I diabetes, a condition characterized by high blood sugar levels. We explored its causes, symptoms, and diagnosis, emphasizing the body's inability to use glucose due to a lack of insulin, typically resulting from an autoimmune response. We discussed early symptoms like frequent urination and increased thirst, complications such as blurred vision, and key aspects like its common onset in childhood and diagnostic methods.
Type I Diabetes Characterization: A condition with high blood sugar levels due to lack of insulin.
Autoimmune Cause: The body's immune system attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.
Primary Symptoms: Frequent urination and increased thirst due to glucose accumulation in the blood.
Glucose as Cellular Fuel: Cells starve of glucose, leading to increased hunger.
Childhood Onset: Commonly develops in childhood, with peaks at ages 7 and 10-14.
Diagnostic Criteria: Fasting blood glucose levels and glycated hemoglobin tests.
Insulin's Role: Insulin is essential for glucose to enter cells for energy.
Complications: Blurred vision due to glucose affecting the eye's lens.
Weight Loss Despite Increased Appetite: Due to the body burning fats and proteins for energy.
