Type I Diabetes Introduction

Thought to be a rather uncommon disease, Type I diabetes affects nearly one out of every 250 people, both old and young, living in the US today. Although "juvenile" has long been linked to this type of the disease, as in Type I juvenile onset diabetes, the problem may actually occur at any age in life, and appears equally among both men and women.

There are thousands things that can go wrong with your body. Consider this short list:

11 beta hydroxylase deficiency - Chromhidrosis - Alveolar Capillary Dysplasia - Agyria-pachygyria type 1 - Bacterial meningitis - Cowchock Wapner Kurtz syndrome - CACH syndrome

Fortunately, even most doctors have not heard of some of these. But even though it is considered fairly uncommon, you probably know someone with Type I Diabetes.

Symptoms

While the symptoms and signs of Type I diabetes tend to be subtle in most cases, if not treated, they can with time become quite severe. Some of the most common symptoms include:

Blurry vision - Frequent skin, vaginal, or urinary tract infections - Nausea - Increased thirst

Other serious symptoms associated with Type I diabetes that warrant an immediate need for medical attention may include:

Abdominal pain Loss of consciousness, rarely in extreme cases Shaking, trembling Confusion

Causes

Scientists still aren't aware of some of the factors that may cause one to have Type I diabetes. However, they do know that a tendency to the condition may be genetic. Researchers have discovered that isulin dependent diabetes may also be caused by environmental factors that causes a bad reaction within the immune system. However, they are unsure as to the exact origins of these triggers.

Diagnosis

For an accurate diagnosis of Type I diabetes, a physician must check for abnormal glucose levels by performing a blood test, or also testing for the presence of glucose in the urine. With today's technology, there is no way to test for a tendency for Type I diabetes, or a method to prevent this type of diabetes.

Treatment

There are many people, of all ages, who enjoy long, quite healthy lives despite having Type I diabetes. It's imperative to keep blood sugar levels under tight control, which may be achieved by eating the right foods, a good exercise program, and having insulin therapy on a regular basis. Anyone with this form of the disease must have insulin injections in order to properly maintain their glucose level, which will also have to be tested regularly.

Without treatment, Type I diabetes may evolve into several serious conditions, some of which may be life-threatening. Kidney damage is a quite common problem in those with Type I diabetes with a condition known as nephropathy. Other possible complications include retinopathy, which causes a loss of vision, heart disease, nerve damage, poor blood circulationand gastrointestinal problems which may also result without medical treatment.

Although a serious problem, juvenile onset diabetes is a problem that can still be successfully managed with the right medical care.
