Complications

Having type 1 diabetes increases your risk for many serious complications. Some complications of type 1 diabetes include: heart disease (cardiovascular disease), blindness (retinopathy), nerve damage (neuropathy), and kidney damage (nephropathy). Learn more about these complications and how to cope with them.

Type 1 Diabetes Cure

Blood sugar monitoring

Depending on what type of insulin therapy you select or require — single dose injections, multiple dose injections or insulin pump — you may need to check and record your blood sugar level up to four or more times a day. Careful monitoring is the only way to make sure that your blood sugar level remains within your target range.

Treatment for children

Treatment for children includes all of the above measures to keep blood sugar levels within the child’s target range. Treatment for children should also allow for normal growth and development. See the topics Type 1 Diabetes: Recently Diagnosed and Type 1 Diabetes: Children Living With the Disease.

The injections are needed, in general, from one to four times a day. People are taught how to give insulin injections by their health care provider or a diabetes nurse educator. Initially, a child’s injections may be given by a parent or other adult. By age 14, most children can be expected (but should not be required) to give their own injections.

Mechanical Cure For Type 1 Diabetes

The “artificial pancreas” can improve control over the wide fluctuations of a patient’s glucose levels that, over time, lead to severe complications such as heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, amputations, blindness and premature death.

Carbohydrates, blood glucose and insulin

Carbohydrate foods have the greatest effect on blood glucose levels and it is the starchy foods - bread, cereals, potatoes, pasta, rice etc. - that you will need to pay most attention to you.

Carbohydrate foods are mostly broken down into glucose by digestive enzymes. The glucose is then absorbed from the intestine into the bloodstream (usually 1 - 2 hours after eating) and this causes the blood glucose level to rise.
