    GlossaryType 1 Diabetes

    autoimmune condition where the body destroys insulin-producing pancreatic cells

    Type 1 Diabetes, also known as T1D or Juvenile Diabetes, is an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. This leads to a lack of insulin, a hormone crucial for regulating blood sugar levels, necessitating lifelong insulin therapy to manage blood glucose levels effectively.
