==Overview==
==Overview==
'''Diabetes mellitus type 1''' (Type 1 diabetes, Type I diabetes, T1D, IDDM) is a form of [[diabetes mellitus]]. Type 1 diabetes is an [[autoimmune]] disease that results in the permanent destruction of [[insulin]] producing [[beta cells]] of the pancreas. Type 1 is lethal unless treatment with exogenous insulin via [[injections]] replaces the missing [[hormone]].
Diabetes mellitus type 1(T1D ) is a [[metabolic]] disorder that is primarily characterized by deficiency in [[insulin]].  T1D has 2 forms of presentations 1) Classic new onset, which commonly present with persistent [[thirst]], frequent [[urination]], and [[dehydration]] 2) Diabetic [[ketoacidosis]], which commonly presents with abdominal pain, vomiting and flu-like symptoms. Patients with classic onset presentation of T1D  are usually well appearing. Whereas T1D  patients presenting with [[diabetic ketoacidosis]] is usually remarkable for [[tachycardia]], [[tachypnea]] (kussumal breathing) and [[dehydration]]. T1D  is characterized by an absolute [[insulin]] deficiency. For these patients, a basal-bolus regimen with a long-acting analog and a short- or rapid-acting insulin analog is the most physiologic insulin regimen and the best option for optimal [[glycemic]] control.


Type 1 diabetes (formerly known as "childhood", "juvenile" or "insulin-dependent" diabetes) is not exclusively a childhood problem: the adult incidence of Type 1 is significant — many adults who contract Type 1 diabetes are misdiagnosed with [[Diabetes mellitus type 2|Type 2]] due to the misconception of Type 1 as a disease of children — and since there is no cure, Type 1 diabetic children will grow up to be Type 1 diabetic adults.
==Historical Perspective==
Term "diabetes" was first described in the literature by a Egyptian scientist Eberes papyrus in 1500 BC. Discovery of insulin by Friedrick Banting in 1921-22, was considered as an important landmark in understanding the nature of disease.


There is currently no preventive measure that can be taken against type 1 diabetes. Most people affected by type 1 diabetes are otherwise healthy and of a healthy weight when onset occurs, but they can lose weight quickly and dangerously, if not diagnosed in a relatively short amount of time. Diet and exercise cannot reverse or prevent type 1 diabetes. However, there are clinical trials ongoing that aim to find methods of preventing or slowing its development.
==Classification==
American Diabetic Association(ADA), classifies T1D  based on etiology into 1) Immune mediated and 2) Idiopathic


The most useful laboratory test to distinguish Type 1 from Type 2 diabetes is the [[C-peptide]] assay, which is a measure of endogenous insulin production since external insulin (to date) has included no C-peptide. However, C-peptide is not absent in Type 1 diabetes until insulin production has fully ceased, which may take months. The presence of anti-islet antibodies (to [[L-glutamic_acid_decarboxylase|Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase]], Insulinoma Associated Peptide-2 or insulin), or lack of [[insulin resistance]], determined by a [[glucose tolerance test]], would also be suggestive of Type 1. As opposed to that, many Type 2 diabetics still produce some insulin internally, and all have some degree of insulin resistance.
==Pathophysiology==
Type 1 diabetes is a disorder characterized by abnormally high blood sugar levels. T1D  is the result of interactions of [[Genetics|genetic]], [[Environmental Science|environmental]], and [[Immunology|immunologic]] factors that ultimately lead to the destruction of the pancreatic [[Beta cell|beta cells]] and [[insulin]] deficiency.


Testing for GAD 65 antibodies has been proposed as an improved test for differentiating between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.
==Causes==
There are no established causes for type 1 DM. Studies have found that cause of T1D is the result of interactions of [[Genetics|genetic]], [[Environmental Science|environmental]], and immunologic factors.


=== Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus ===
==Differentiating Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 from other Diseases==
{{main|Diabetes mellitus type 1}}
[[Type 1 DM]] must be differentiated from [[type 2 DM]], MODY-DM, [[psychogenic polydipsia]], [[diabetes insipidus]], transient hyperglycemia, steroid therapy, [[Renal tubular acidosis|renal tubular acidosis type-1]], [[glucagonoma]], [[cushing's syndrome]], and [[hypothyroidism]].


[[Type 1 diabetes mellitus]] is characterized by loss of the insulin-producing [[beta cell]]s of the [[islets of Langerhans]] in the pancreas, leading to a deficiency of insulin. The main cause of this beta cell loss is a T-cell mediated [[autoimmunity|autoimmune]] attack. There is no known preventative measure that can be taken against type 1 diabetes, which comprises up to 10% of diabetes mellitus cases in North America and Europe (though this varies by geographical location). Most affected people are otherwise healthy and of a healthy weight when onset occurs. Sensitivity and responsiveness to insulin are usually normal, especially in the early stages. Type 1 diabetes can affect children or adults but was traditionally termed "juvenile diabetes" because it represents a majority of cases of diabetes affecting children.  
==Epidemiology and Demographics==
Epidemiology and demographics of type 1 DM varies with geography, [[age]][[race]] and [[Genetics|genetic]] susceptibility.


The principal treatment of type 1 diabetes, even from the earliest stages, is replacement of insulin combined with careful monitoring of blood glucose levels using blood testing monitors. Without insulin, [[diabetic ketoacidosis]] can develop and may result in coma or death. Emphasis is also placed on lifestyle adjustments (diet and exercise) though these can do absolutely nothing to reverse the loss. Apart from the common [[subcutaneous]] injections, it is also possible to deliver insulin by a [[insulin pump|pump]], which allows continuous infusion of insulin 24 hours a day at preset levels, and the ability to program doses (a [[Bolus (medicine)|bolus]]) of insulin as needed at meal times. An inhaled form of insulin, [[Exubera]], was approved by the FDA in January 2006, although Pfizer discontinued Exubera in October 2007. <ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/news/2006/NEW01304.html |title=FDA Approves First Ever Inhaled Insulin Combination Product for Treatment of Diabetes |accessdate=2007-09-09 |format= |work=}}</ref>
==Risk Factors==
Risk factors for type 1 DM include family history, [[genetics]], geography, [[congenital rubella]] infection, maternal [[Enterovirus|entero-viral]] infection, [[cesarean]] infection, higher [[birth weight]], older [[maternal]] age, low [[maternal]] intake of vegetables, enteroviral infection, frequent [[respiratory]] or [[enteric]] infections, early exposure to cereals, root vegetables, eggs and cow's milk, infant weight gain, persistent or recurrent entero-viral infections, overweight or increased height velocity, high [[glycemic]] load, [[fructose]] intake, dietary nitrates or [[nitrosamines]], [[puberty]], [[psychological]] stress and low [[vitamin D]] levels.


Type 1 treatment must be continued indefinitely. Treatment does not significantly impair normal activities, if sufficient patient training, awareness, appropriate care, discipline in testing and dosing of insulin is taken.  However, treatment is burdensome for patients, chronic and insulin is replaced in a non-physiological manner, and is therefore is far from ideal. The average glucose level for the type 1 patient should be as close to normal (80–120&nbsp;mg/dl, 4–6&nbsp;mmol/l) as is ''safely'' possible. Some physicians suggest up to 140–150&nbsp;mg/dl (7-7.5&nbsp;mmol/l) for those having trouble with lower values, such as frequent hypoglycemic events. Values above 200&nbsp;mg/dl (10&nbsp;mmol/l) is sometimes accompanied by discomfort and frequent urination leading to [[dehydration]]. Values above 300&nbsp;mg/dl (15&nbsp;mmol/l) usually require treatment and may lead to [[ketoacidosis]], although is not immediately life-threatening. However, low levels of blood glucose, called [[hypoglycemia]], may lead to seizures or episodes of unconsciousness and absolutely must be treated immediately.
==Screening==
According to the American Diabetic Association, screening for type 1 DM is not recommended.<sup>[[Diabetes mellitus type 1 screening|[1]]]</sup>
 
==Natural History, Complications and Prognosis==
If left untreated, patients with [type 1 DM] may progress to develop complications of the [[Hyperglycemia|hyperglycem]]<nowiki/>ia state, which commonly include [[Diabetic ketoacidosis|diabetes ketoacidosis]] and [[hyperglycemia]] [[hyperosmolar]] state. [[Prognosis]] is generally good with compliance with medications.
 
==Diagnosis==
The diagnosis of type 1 DM is based on the ADA criteria, which include [[FPGS|FPG]] ≥126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L), or 2-h PG ≥200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) during an [[OGTT]], or [[A1C]] ≥6.5% (48 mmol/mol), or classic symptoms of [[hyperglycemia]] or [[hyperglycemic]] crisis, a random [[plasma]] [[glucose]] ≥200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L).
 
===History and Symptoms===
Type 1 DM has 2 forms of presentations 1) Classic new onset, which commonly present with persistent thirst, frequent urination, and dehydration 2) [[Diabetic ketoacidosis]], which commonly presents with [[abdominal pain]], [[vomiting]] and [[flu]]-like symptoms.

Overview

Diabetes mellitus type 1(T1D ) is a metabolic disorder that is primarily characterized by deficiency in insulin. T1D has 2 forms of presentations 1) Classic new onset, which commonly present with persistent thirst, frequent urination, and dehydration 2) Diabetic ketoacidosis, which commonly presents with abdominal pain, vomiting and flu-like symptoms. Patients with classic onset presentation of T1D are usually well appearing. Whereas T1D patients presenting with diabetic ketoacidosis is usually remarkable for tachycardia, tachypnea (kussumal breathing) and dehydration. T1D is characterized by an absolute insulin deficiency. For these patients, a basal-bolus regimen with a long-acting analog and a short- or rapid-acting insulin analog is the most physiologic insulin regimen and the best option for optimal glycemic control.
