More About Diabetes Type 1

About 8 per cent of people with diabetes in the UK have Type 1 diabetes. It’s got nothing to do with diet or lifestyle. When you have Type 1 diabetes, your body attacks the cells in your pancreas that make insulin. Insulin does an essential job. It allows the glucose in our blood to enter our cells and fuel our bodies.

With Type 1 diabetes, your body breaks down the carbohydrate from food and drink and turns it into glucose (sugar). But when the glucose enters your bloodstream, there's no insulin to allow it into your body's cells. More and more glucose then builds up in your bloodstream.

Managing Type 1 diabetes

Once diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, you get insulin into your body by injecting it, or via an insulin pump, which delivers a constant supply into you.

You will need to check your blood glucose levels are not too low or too high by using a blood glucose testing device several times a day. When you start taking insulin, you’ll begin to feel better and your blood glucose levels will go down.

It is important because over a long period of time, high glucose levels in your blood can seriously damage you heart, your eyes, your feet and your kidneys. These are known as the complications of diabetes.

But with the right treatment and care, the long-term effects of diabetes and high glucose levels can be managed.

Looking After Yourself

Take your medication: It's very important that you take any prescribed medicine, even if you do not feel unwell. Some medicines are designed to prevent serious problems from happening in the future.

Have a healthy diet: A healthy, balanced diet can help improve your general health and reduce your risk of developing further problems.

Exercise regularly: Regular physical activity can also help improve your general health. Do not be scared to exercise.
