It is a disease that results from the body's failure to produce insulin, the hormone that allows glucose to enter the cells of the body to fuel them. This is most often the result of an autoimmune process in which the body's immune system attacks and destroys the insulin producing cells of the pancreas. When glucose cannot enter the cells, it builds up in the blood and the body's cells literally starve to death. People with type 1 diabetes must take daily insulin injections and regularly monitor their blood sugar levels. The cause of type 1 diabetes is unknown, but is is known that people inherit a tendency to get diabetes. However, not all people who have this tendency will get the disease. Type 1 diabetes usually starts in children or young adults, but can start at any age. More than 700,000 Americans have this type of diabetes -- about 10 percent of all diagnosed cases.<br><b>References : </b><br> Type 1 Diabetes

Essentially insulin is the key that lets nutrients (carbs) into your cells in your body to create energy. Type 1's do not make insulin, so the cells are starving. For energy, the body will burn off fat cells and this is what causes a type 1 to have rapid weight loss.<br><b>References : </b><br> Uncontrolled type 1 causes weight loss.
