Diabetes is a chronic, life-threatening disease for which there is no known cure. It is caused by the body’s inability to produce or effectively utilize the hormone insulin, which prevents the body from adequately regulating blood glucose levels. Glucose, the primary source of energy for cells, must be maintained at certain concentrations in the blood in order to permit optimal cell function and health. In people with diabetes, blood glucose levels fluctuate between very high levels, a condition known as hyperglycemia, and very low levels, a condition called hypoglycemia. Hyperglycemia can lead to serious short-term complications, such as confusion, vomiting, dehydration, and loss of consciousness and long-term complications, such as blindness, kidney disease, nervous system disease, occlusive vascular diseases, stroke, cardiovascular disease, or death. Hypoglycemia can lead to confusion, loss of consciousness, or death.
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by the body’s nearly complete inability to produce insulin. It is diagnosed throughout the age spectrum, with over half of newly diagnosed cases occurring in adulthood. Individuals with type 1 diabetes require daily insulin therapy to survive. We estimate that approximately 6 million people have type 1 diabetes in the countries we currently serve.
