Type 1 diabetes is a chronic disease, also known as adolescent diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes.
The following is some general knowledge of type 1 diabetes: The causes of type 1 diabetes are not yet entirely clear, but different factors, such as genetic and certain viruses, can lead to type 1 diabetes.
The pancreas of these diabetes patients do not produce insulin or very little insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is used by the body to generate energy from sugar (glucose) entering the cell.
Symptoms of type 1 diabetes can occur suddenly, including: 1. A feeling of thirster than usual; 2. A large amount of urine; 3. A child who does not wet his bed at night wets his bed; 4. A feeling of hunger; 5. An accidental loss of weight; 6. A feeling of anger or other emotional changes; 7. A feeling of fatigue and weakness; 8. A blurred vision.
Treatment for type 1 diabetes includes:
Insulin treatment: All type 1 diabetes patients need insulin treatment for life.
• Calculation of carbohydrates, fat and protein intake
• Regular monitoring of blood sugar
• Healthy diet
• Regular exercise and maintenance of healthy weight
Prevention of type 1 diabetes relies mainly on early diagnosis and intervention.
For newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes patients, appropriate medical intervention or disposal may allow these residual beta-cell functions to be retained, thus reducing dependence on external insulin.
Chronic complications such as diabetes nephrosis, diabetes retinasis, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, etc. can occur if patients with type 1 diabetes do not receive reasonable treatment.
The day-to-day management of type 1 diabetes patients is cumbersome, including attention to diet, exercise, insulin use, etc. Good life management can be effective in preventing or delaying complications and improving the quality of life.
