More Description Diabetes is a common, life-long disease that affects the way the body uses the food we eat.
Type 1 diabetes is a chronic autoimmune disease that destroys the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas. The body cannot produce insulin, which is a vital hormone needed to transport glucose from the bloodstream into cells for energy. Without insulin, blood sugar levels rise and a condition termed hyperglycemia occurs.
At the base of the disease, there is a "sabotage" by the immune system against the cells that produce insulin: the disease manifests itself in fact with the presence in the blood antibodies directed against antigens present in the cells that produce insulin. For this reason, type 1 diabetes is classified among the so-called "autoimmune" diseases, characterized by a reaction of the immune system against the organism itself. The damage that the immune system induces against the cells that produce insulin is believed it may be linked to hereditary factors and environmental factors (including diet, lifestyle, contact with specific viruses).
