Type 1 Diabetes

Type 1 diabetes is a chronic autoimmune condition in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Without insulin, the body is unable to regulate blood sugar levels, causing glucose to build up in the bloodstream instead of entering cells for energy. This condition often develops in childhood or adolescence, but it can occur at any age. Patients with Type 1 diabetes require lifelong insulin therapy and ongoing management to maintain stable blood sugar levels. At Revere Health, we provide comprehensive care and support for patients living with Type 1 diabetes.

Symptoms of Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes symptoms can appear suddenly and may include:

Increased thirst and frequent urination
Unintended weight loss
Extreme hunger
Fatigue and irritability
Blurred vision

Management and Treatment
Effective management of Type 1 diabetes focuses on keeping blood sugar levels within a target range:

Insulin Therapy: Patients must take insulin through injections or an insulin pump to regulate blood sugar.
Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM): Devices that track glucose levels in real-time to prevent dangerous highs and lows.
Diet and Exercise: Healthy eating and regular physical activity to support blood sugar control.
Education and Support: Ongoing education and support for patients and families to optimize diabetes management.
