WHAT HAPPENS WHEN TYPE 1 DIABETES SETS IN?

After patient contracts type-1 diabetes, the person’s body fails to carry out the necessary activities (metabolism).

This happens as the body cannot function without the necessary ingredient – glucose – that induces heat.

Glucose is produced from the food that we eat. Insulin is the agent that helps to extract glucose (sugar) from the consumed food.

Insulin also brings out glucose from starches and other food.

Insulin is a hormone. Insulin is produced by the pancreas located in the abdominal area.

When the pancreas does not function, the insulin production is halted. As a result, the body fails to act on the starch, sugar, and other food that are the sources of sugar or glucose.

However, the person concerned keeps on having the same old meal. The body keeps on getting constant supply glucose. The excess glucose gets deposited in various parts of the body.

This is the typical situation when type 1 diabetes takes root.

In the initial stages, such a type 1 diabetes situation can be easily tackled.
