In 2017, there were over 9 million people (about half the population of New York) with type 1 diabetes (according to WHO [World Health Organization] reports). <\/span><\/i><\/b> It is a chronic hormonal disease caused by the decreased production of insulin by your pancreas. Insulin is a hormone responsible for managing your blood glucose levels.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Type 1 diabetes is also called insulin-dependent, juvenile, or childhood-onset diabetes.<\/span><\/i><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Causes<\/span><\/i><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Diet and lifestyle factors do not play any role in the development of type 1 Diabetes.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Signs of high blood sugar (Hyperglycemia) are often overlooked as they are very vague.
