Understanding Type 1 Diabetes for Parents and Guardians
Type 1 diabetes is a chronic condition in which the body does not produce insulin, a hormone that helps change sugar (glucose) from food into energy. This life-threatening condition causes high levels of sugar in the blood. Without insulin, glucose gets “stuck” in the bloodstream and the body cannot use it for energy.
