What is Type 1 Diabetes?
Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, leading to insulin deficiency. Lifelong insulin therapy is required to manage blood sugar levels. Carrying an ICE card helps emergency responders quickly understand your condition and provide appropriate care.
