Type 1 diabetes is a chronic condition that affects millions of children worldwide. It is an autoimmune disease that occurs when the body's immune system attacks the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps glucose, or sugar, get from the blood into the cells for energy.

Without insulin, the body cannot use glucose for energy. This can lead to high blood sugar levels, which can cause a variety of health problems, including thirst, frequent urination, weight loss, fatigue, and blurred vision.

Type 1 diabetes is a serious condition, but it can be managed with proper care. With the right treatment, children with type 1 diabetes can live long, healthy lives.
