What is it and how can I lose weight with diabetes? If you have
children, you should know Type I diabetes (insulin-dependent diabetes
mellitus) usually strikes people younger than 35, typically appearing
dramatically in children and adolescents. It affects 10 percent of
diabetics and is usually triggered by a virus or auto immune system that
destroys the body's insulin-producing cells, allowing glucose in the
bloodstream to increase and upset blood sugar levels, resulting in
hyperglycemia (too much glucose). Type I diabetics produce no insulin at
all and require insulin injections to manage blood sugars and maintain
good health.
