Type 1 Diabetes – Type 1 Diabetes is a autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys insulin-producing cells. Kids and teens that are diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes are a greater risk for other autoimmune issues.
Signs of Type 1 Diabetes
Diabetes is a condition where your blood glucose level is too high because of lack of insulin. Insulin is a hormone, made by our pancreas, that enables blood sugar to enter the cells in your body.

Treatment for Type 1 Diabetes
TRAINING!!!!!!! One of my biggest passions in life is training. Training is what gives me energy, what helps me to clear my head when I feel stressed, a great tool for handling my autoimmune diseases AND it makes me feel stronger, happier, healthier and more confident! I often feel tired, sometimes more, sometimes less, but training really gives me energy! Even if I feel tired before a workout, I always feel so much better after!
Of course it´s important with balance, and also let the body recover!

Type 1 Diabetes vs Type 2 Diabetes
There are two main types of diabetes, type 1 and type 2. If you have type 1, you can´t make any insulin at all, or very little (and type 2 means that the insulin either can´t work effectively, or you can´t produce enough of it).
