    Type 1 Diabetes

    1. Overview

      1. Type 1 Diabetes

        Type 1 diabetes is a condition in which your immune system destroys insulin-making cells in your pancreas.

      2. Might My Child Have Type 1 Diabetes?

        Know the symptoms of type 1 diabetes so you can help keep your child healthy.

    2. Treating & Managing

      1. Giving Yourself an Insulin Shot for Diabetes

        For those with diabetes, an insulin shot delivers medicine into the subcutaneous tissue.

      2. What to Eat When You Have Type 1 Diabetes

        It's important to eat a healthy diet when you have type 1 diabetes. That doesn't mean you can't enjoy tasty food.

      3. Blood Sugar Levels for Young Children With Diabetes

        Children's blood sugar levels -- especially when they're little -- can be all over the place.

      4. Blood Sugar Levels for Kids and Teens With Diabetes

        Well-controlled blood sugars help children with diabetes grow and develop normally.

    3. Complications & Related Conditions

      2. Ketosis

        Ketosis is a word you'll probably see when you're looking for information on diabetes or weight loss.

      3. Type 1 Diabetes and Stomach Problems

        Diabetes can affect many parts of your body. One of those is the vagus nerve. It controls how quickly your stomach empties.

      4. Type 1 Diabetes and Your Brain

        Left unchecked, type 1 diabetes can affect several organs, including your brain.
