List of people with type 1 diabetes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Type 1 diabetes, also known as juvenile diabetes, is a condition in which the body does not produce insulin, resulting in high levels of sugar in the bloodstream.[1][2] Whereas type 2 diabetes is typically diagnosed in middle age and treated via diet, oral medication and/or insulin therapy, type 1 diabetes tends to be diagnosed earlier in life, and people with type 1 diabetes require insulin therapy for survival.[1] It is significantly less common than type 2 diabetes, accounting for 5 percent of all diabetes diagnoses.[3]
