Type I Diabetes

With Type I diabetes, the body does not produce any insulin and people diagnosed with Type I must take insulin injections daily for the rest of their lives. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert sugar (glucose) starches and other foods into energy necessary for daily life. With Type I diabetes, the blood sugar cannot pass into the body's cells to be burned, instead the blood sugar rises to a high level and overflows through the kidneys into the urine.

Type I Diabetes is usually diagnosed in children or young adults.
Type I Diabetes does not/cannot turn into Type Ii Diabetes and vice versa.
