Insulin is a hormone that helps glucose get into cells to be used for energy. In people with type 1 diabetes, the pancreas does not make enough or does not make enough insulin. This causes blood sugar levels to rise. Type 1 diabetes is a chronic (lifelong) autoimmune disease that prevents your pancreas from making insulin.

Insulin is an important hormone that regulates the amount of glucose (sugar) in your blood. Under normal circumstances, insulin acts in the following steps: Your body breaks down the food you eat into glucose (sugar), which is your body's main source of energy.

Glucose enters your bloodstream, which signals your pancreas to release insulin. Insulin helps the glucose in your blood enter your muscle, fat and liver cells so they can use it for energy or store it for later use. When glucose enters your cells and the levels in your bloodstream drop, it signals your pancreas to stop producing insulin.

There are some new treatments for type 1 diabetes, including:

Lantidra

The first cellular therapy approved by the FDA for type 1 diabetes. It is for adults who have frequent episodes of severe hypoglycemia despite diabetes management. Lantrida is made from pancreatic cells from deceased donors.

teplizumab

An immunotherapy drug that may delay the onset of type 1 diabetes. It is sold under the brand name Tzield and is for people 8 years of age or older with stage 2 type 1 diabetes. Teplizumab is given via a daily infusion for 12 days.

Stem cell therapy is
a promising new treatment that involves introducing fresh islet cells derived from stem cells into the patient's body. The goal is to restore the patients' pancreas' ability to produce insulin through these new islet cells.

Type-1 diabetes disease 

According to the CDC, type-1 diabetes is a metabolic disorder. It is also called insulin-dependent diabetes or juvenile diabetes. This disease can occur at any age. However, mostly children become its victims. In this disease, the pancreas reduces or completely stops the production of insulin hormone. This hormone controls and regulates blood sugar in the body.
 
Why does type-1 diabetes occur?
According to the CDC, type-1 diabetes occurs when the immune system mistakenly damages the beta cells that produce insulin in the pancreas. This is an autoimmune disorder, which can also occur from generation to generation, so it is considered more dangerous. This is the reason why doctors recommend improving the routine and diet. What are the symptoms of type-1 diabetes?  1. Sudden weight loss 2. Urinating in bed while sleeping 3. Frequent urination 4. Blurred vision 5. Frequent thirst 6. Excessive hunger 7. Feeling tired and weak very quickly
 

Who is at risk for type 1 diabetes?

Much research is still needed about this type of diabetes. Similarly, very little information is available about its risks or risk factors. However, researchers have identified some groups who are at higher risk of type 1 diabetes than others, such as:

• Children whose both parents have diabetes
• Babies born to mothers with gestational diabetes
• Children who have had infections, injuries, or trauma involving the pancreas
• people living in very cold regions
