Title:   Type 1 diabetes
Publisher:   Diabetes Australia - Victoria
Description:   Type 1 diabetes (formerly known as Insulin Dependant Diabetes or Juvenile Diabetes) is an autoimmune disease. This means the body's own immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells (beta cells) in the pancreas. Insulin is a hormone that allows glucose (a type of sugar produced from the food you eat) to pass from the blood stream into cells to provide energy, and therefore helps to maintain normal blood glucose levels. In people with type 1 diabetes the pancreas is not producing insulin, so blood glucose levels are higher than normal.
