How do we manage Type 1 Diabetes?

There are a few ways that Type 1 Diabetes can be managed....

1) Glucose Monitor- Checking blood sugar every few hours to monitor levels

2) Taking Insulin- this is normally done by self injection, there are now other monitors that inject the insulin through out the day in intervals as well

3) Eating Healthy- Changing habits to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight makes management easier to not have to re-access dosages and side affects

What is insulin?

Many know that insulin is used for the treatment of both forms of diabetes but do we really know what it is or how it actually helps the person to manage it? Insulin when produced by the body is
a hormone created by the pancreas that regulates the amount of glucose (sugar) that's in our blood. With Type 1 diabetes, the pancreas does not create enough or does not create any insulin at all. Without this your body would begin to break down its own body fat and tissues, resulting in rapid weight loss and nutrition deficits. In short, insulin is what makes our bodies be able to have the energy we need to live.

"Well what can you eat now?" A common misconception about Type 1 Diabetes is that you are not allowed to eat a lot of foods. Fortunately that is simply not true. With the diagnosis you will definitely have to change eating habits, but overall as long as you factor in moderation then no foods are off limits!

Let's delve deeper into what exactly Type 1 Diabetes is....

-Overall diabetes is a chronic health condition that impacts the ability of your body to turn food into the energy it needs.

-Type 1 diabetes is a result of the pancreas not creating at all or creating to little insulin for the needs of the body

-Type 1 Diabetes can be caused by an autoimmune reaction or can be placated by a predisposition in your genetics
