Although illness onset can be at any age, Type 1 diabetes mellitus strikes children and young adults the most. Therefore, it is also known as juvenile diabetes. Moreover, the present decade is witnessing a hike in the incidence of type 1 diabetes, influencing the health-related quality of life of the young generation.
Signs and Symptoms of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus:
Juvenile diabetes symptoms often shows a sudden and is similar as type 2 diabetes symptoms that includes:
-
Polyphagia (extreme hunger)
-
Polydipsia (increased thirst)

Type 1 diabetes treatment modalities:
A permanent cure for type 1 diabetes mellitus is not possible. However, type 1 diabetes treatment options mainly focus on controlling blood sugar levels, preventing complications, reducing mortality, and improving the patient's quality of life. Therefore, lifelong therapy with insulin analogues is required for treating illness. Depending upon the blood sugar level, dosage fixation, and choice of insulin such as short-acting (regular), rapid-acting, intermediate-acting, and long-acting insulin are decided. Often insulin is administered subcutaneously and, if necessary, intravenously to maintain normal blood glucose levels. Besides, strict adherence to the diet plan and regular exercise is crucial for achieving antidiabetic treatment’s goal.
