What Is Type 1 Diabetes? | 2 Minute Guide | Diabetes UK

Share this:

Type 1 diabetes affects 10% of people with diabetes in the UK. It is a serious, lifelong condition where your blood glucose level is too high because your body can’t make a hormone called insulin.

The symptoms of type 1 diabetes include feeling very tired, needing to wee a lot, feeling extremely thirsty and losing weight. These symptoms can come on very quickly, so if you have any of these symptoms see a doctor as soon as possible.

This 3D animation explains the causes, symptoms and treatment of Type 1 Diabetes. Type 1 Diabetes is a condition in which your pancreas does not produce insulin, a hormone your body needs to maintain proper blood sugar levels. Without insulin, glucose cannot get into your cells, so they are starved for the calories they should be receiving from glucose. In addition, the glucose level builds up in your bloodstream, resulting in a condition called hyperglycemia. If you have Type I diabetes, your goal is to keep your blood glucose within a normal range. This is done through a combination of proper insulin replacement, monitoring your blood glucose and, just as importantly, eating a healthy diet and getting regular exercise.

    I think it's really important to educate ourselves on type1 diabetes, – what it does to the body – what to do if you have it, and how to prevent it. contact dr.oyalo for natural cure on his channel. i got cured with his remedy.

    My daughter drinks lots of water and urinates with the same rate, there are no other symptoms to show if those have anything to do with diabetes. This is a good information that I have gone through Diabets.Care She is 2 years 9 months, hale and healthy, have not done any blood test. But I am not certain if one can get diabetes at such a tender age. Please I will like to know more on that

    I'm so grateful for Diabetes UK and the work they do, it was a little infographic paper manual from Diabetes UK I was given at the hospital when I was diagnosed that pretty much taught me everything I needed to know. DAFNE course and book helped a lot too- but that was later.

  11. Krishna Sathiababu

  12. Korsalath

    I've heard type 2 diabetics can also develop type 1 diabetes and then require insulin. Is it possible that the medication prior to taking insulin could cause the need for insulin?

  20. JetsFan68

    I'm so glad my parents kinda let me do everything by myself. I'm 15 and some of the people at the diabetes camp that are my age have their mom/dad do EVERYTHING for them. I'm glad i have more freedom than most and I sympathize for the kids whose parents are actual helicopters

  29. William Gentry

    I’ve had T1 diabetes for over 13 years now. For whatever reason, I’m just now starting to care about it. Still not understanding the science of it all, but this video is very helpful. And it helps me appreciate the technological advancements taking place. Like, it blows my mind that I have essentially an artificial pancreas in my pocket that will automatically monitor and track my blood glucose throughout the day. That’s insane. A few years ago I don’t think I could dream of that. Things are looking up for diabetics, I’d say.

  30. Nelatur Sridhar

    S absolutely people can learn from nucleus media you tube channel better than in the classroom of a science college. Hats off to the guys who made every video a picture perfect.

  31. Clairey Mac

    I have just been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes after being rushed to hospital unaware I had diabetes. I am trying to find out as much information as possible about my new diagnosis.
