Type 1 Diabetes is a lifelong condition — but with the right knowledge, care, and support, children and adults can live full, confident, and active lives.
Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune condition where the body stops producing insulin. It is not caused by lifestyle, food habits, or sugar intake. Early diagnosis, regular insulin, and monitoring are essential for survival and long-term health.
Living with T1D involves balancing insulin, food, physical activity, and emotional well-being. With proper education, children can attend school, play sports, travel, and pursue careers just like anyone else.
Diabetes management can be emotionally challenging. Feelings of fear, burnout, or isolation are common — especially in children and adolescents. Peer support and counselling play a vital role in long-term well-being.
