| type 1 diabetes |
a form of diabetes that tends to develop before age 30 but may occur at any age. It's caused by an immune system attack on the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas. When the cells are destroyed, the pancreas can no longer produce insulin. People who have type 1 diabetes must take insulin to survive.
