Type 1 diabetes is a chronic disease in which the pancreas produces very little or no insulin.
T1D is the most prevalent form of diabetes in children, and its prevalence has been rising globally in recent decades. The immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas of patients with the disease, preventing the body from making enough of the hormone to properly regulate blood sugar levels.
