Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/14/2016 -- Diabetes, often referred to as diabetes mellitus, results in high blood glucose levels. Depending on the cause of development, it can be divided into three types:

-Type 1 diabetes (or insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus): The pancreas do not produce the required amount of insulin in the body, leading to high blood glucose levels.
-Type 2 diabetes (non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus): In this condition, though the body produces the required amount of insulin, the cells do not respond to it. This results in a high glucose level in the body.
-Gestational diabetes: This condition occurs in pregnant women without any history of diabetes.

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder characterized by high blood glucose levels. In this condition, the immune system is activated against insulin-producing cells. This condition hampers the body's ability to produce insulin and disrupts blood glucose homeostasis. Type 1 diabetes differs from a more prevalent form of diabetes mellitus, type 2 diabetes, wherein the insulin is produced inside the body. Type 1 diabetes accounts for only 5%-15% of the total diabetes cases. As the disease is more prevalent among children and adolescents aged 0-15 years, it was earlier known as juvenile diabetes. Type 1 diabetes management relies on providing symptomatic relief and improving the quality of life of people.
