Diabetes tipo 1
Diabetes tipo 1 geralmente se desenvolve em crianças e em adultos jovens (daí o nome de diabetes juvenil). Mas pessoas de qualquer idade podem obtê-lo. Às vezes, as pessoas desenvolvem diabetes tipo 1 depois dos 40 anos, mas geralmente ocorre muito antes.
Causas do Diabetes Tipo 1
Hereditariedade.
Embora os médicos não saibam exatamente por que o mau funcionamento do sistema imunológico, eles acreditam hereditariedade e fatores ambientais ambos desempenham papéis. Na maioria dos casos, para desenvolver diabetes tipo 1, você precisa herdar os fatores de risco de ambos os pais
Meio Ambiente.
Os cientistas acreditam que há uma série de gatilhos ambientais para o diabetes tipo 1, incluindo:
Tempo frio. Diabetes tipo 1 se desenvolve com mais freqüência nos meses de inverno. Também é mais comum em áreas onde o clima é mais frio.
Vírus. Alguns pesquisadores acreditam que o vírus pode causar diabetes tipo 1 em certas pessoas.

FAQ - 💬
❓ What is considered a type 1 diabetic?
👉 Type 1 diabetes, once known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes, is a chronic condition. In this condition, the pancreas makes little or no insulin. Insulin is a hormone the body uses to allow sugar (glucose) to enter cells to produce energy.
❓ What is difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes?
👉 The main difference between the type 1 and type 2 diabetes is that type 1 diabetes is a genetic condition that often shows up early in life, and type 2 is mainly lifestyle-related and develops over time. With type 1 diabetes, your immune system is attacking and destroying the insulin-producing cells in your pancreas.
❓ Is diabetes type 1 Serious?
👉 If left untreated, type-1 diabetes is a life-threatening condition. It's essential that treatment is started early. Diabetes can't be cured, but treatment aims to keep your blood glucose levels as normal as possible and control your symptoms, to prevent health problems developing later in life.
❓ What causes diabetes type 1?
👉 What causes type 1 diabetes? Type 1 diabetes occurs when your immune system, the body's system for fighting infection, attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas. Scientists think type 1 diabetes is caused by genes and environmental factors, such as viruses, that might trigger the disease.
❓ Can diabetes type 1 can be cured?
👉 Currently, there isn't a cure for type 1 diabetes. However, what we know about the condition is constantly evolving, new technologies and medicines are being developed, and researchers are making important breakthroughs. Right now, people of all ages are leading full, healthy lives with type 1 diabetes.
❓ Can you reverse type 1 diabetes?
👉 Can type 1 diabetes be reversed? There's no known cure for type 1 diabetes right now. But our scientists are looking at new treatments called immunotherapies, which could help to prevent, stop and cure the condition.

❓ How long can a type 1 diabetes live?
👉 Ninety years ago, type 1 diabetes was a death sentence: half of people who developed it died within two years; more than 90% were dead within five years. Thanks to the introduction of insulin therapy in 1922, and numerous advances since then, many people with type 1 diabetes now live into their 50s and beyond.
❓ How do u treat type 1 diabetes?
👉 If you have type 1 diabetes, you'll need to use insulin to treat your diabetes. You take the insulin by injection or by using a pump. If you have Type 2 diabetes, you may have to use insulin or tablets, though you might initially be able to treat your diabetes by eating well and moving more.
❓ Is type 1 diabetes genetic?
👉 Type 1 diabetes. In most cases of type 1 diabetes, people need to inherit risk factors from both parents. We think these factors must be more common in white people because white people have the highest rate of type 1 diabetes.
