- Type 1 diabetes is a chronic (lifelong) disease that occurs when the pancreas produces too little insulin to regulate blood sugar levels appropriately.
In type 1 diabetes, the beta cells of the pancreas produce little or no insulin, the hormone that allows glucose to enter body cells. Once glucose enters a cell, it is used as fuel.
Without adequate insulin, glucose builds up in the bloodstream instead of going into the cells. The body is unable to use this glucose for energy despite high levels in the bloodstream, leading to increased hunger. In addition, the high levels of glucose in the blood causes the patient to urinate more, which in turn causes excessive thirst. Within 5 to 10 years after diagnosis, the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas are completely destroyed, and no more insulin is produced.
Type 1 diabetes can occur at any age, but it usually starts in people younger than 30. Symptoms are usually severe and occur rapidly.

Check this fact out!!
Research out of Japan showed that laughter can help keep diabetes under control. The researchers found that the diabetic patients who watched a funny video after eating a meal processed the sugar from their meals better than those who were subjected to a boring lecture.0 Comments 825 days

Silent Night
By Barbie Paulsen [ barbie AT smaalders.net ]
Silent night, basal check night
Faces lit by the pump's green light
There'll be no sleeping for mother or child
Whether the numbers are wild or mild
Sleep, good heavens, what's sleep?
Sleep, I wish I could sleep.
Silent Night, full moon night,
Parents quake at the sight
Numbers rise and then plummet and fall
We try hard to keep track of it all
Will it be better by morn?
I hope it's better come morn.
Silent night, regular night
Do a test by the pale night light
Meter and strips are right there in their place
No sign of waking stirs my child's face
What is all of this worth?
Good health is what it's all worth.
Meter (Dreidel)
By Barbie Paulsen
I have a little meter
I use it through the day,
When finger's done with bleeding
Then dreidel I can play
Chorus:
Oh, meter, meter, meter
I use it every day
And when I'm done with testing
I throw used strips away (Hah!)
I have a little meter,
It counts down really fast
And keeps a steady record
Of when I tested last
--Chorus--
I have a little meter
I take it everywhere
But when I need to use it
Sometimes it isn't there
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
By Jane Hunsche [ k22301 AT hotmail.com ]
I want a cure for Christmas.
Santa that's my only prayer.
I don't want toys or money,
Just take away my shots this year!
All of the other children,
get to eat the cake and pie.
I have to check my glucose,
praying that it isn't high.
Oh what joy that day will bring,
when I hear them say,
"Diabetes is no more,
finally we've found a cure!"
So please find a cure for Christmas,
then I will shout out with glee,
with all of the other children,
"THIS DISEASE IS HISTORY!"

What is Diabetes Camp And Where I WANNA GO!!
BatBran 0 Replyshi hows it going. I too have type 1 diabetes. I have never heard that that have a cure yet. if you know someone with it then share the info!!! seriously. but to be fair I doubt that if there is a cure it could be kept secret. Insulin is not a cure, its a treatment. Hopefully within the next few ...
Diabetes Camp 2 Replyshey, there are a few funny things on a site called loldiabetes.com obviously not as good as this site but we'll give them credit!
