About Type 1 Diabetes

Diabetes is a chronic condition in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin, the hormone needed to transport glucose (sugar) from the blood into the cells of the body for energy.

Since the pancreas can no longer produce insulin, people with type 1 diabetes require daily injections of insulin or insulin pump therapy.

The International Diabetes Federation estimates the global number of children 14 years of age and younger with type 1 diabetes to be 440,000, with 70,000 newly diagnosed cases each year. Type 1 diabetes is one of the most common diseases in school-aged children - about 186,300 young people in the United States under age 20 had diabetes in 2007.
