Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is a chronic disease in which the body stops producing insulin, the hormone that regulates blood sugar. It usually appears in childhood or youth and requires lifelong follow-up.
Common symptoms:
- Thirst and needing to urinate more than usual
- Constant hunger and weight loss
- Fatigue and blurred vision
When should you see a doctor? With intense thirst, unexplained weight loss, or a great deal of fatigue, especially in children and young people, a prompt evaluation is advisable.
Which specialist manages it? Type 1 diabetes is managed by the endocrinologist, and in children by the pediatric endocrinologist or the pediatrician, with support from the dietitian. Professional follow-up helps you understand the disease and live with it in a calmer way.
