TYPE 1 DIABETES
What Is Diabetes?
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a chronic autoimmune condition in which the body’s immune system attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Unlike type 2 diabetes, type 1 is not caused by diet or lifestyle and can develop at any age. It affects 30 million people in the United States, about 1.25 million of whom have T1D.
