Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease where the pancreas produces little or no insulin. It results from the destruction of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar. Without insulin, glucose stays in the blood and cannot be used for energy. As a result, blood glucose (sugar) levels become high. Symptoms of type 1 diabetes include increased thirst, increased urination, weight loss despite increased appetite, blurred vision and tiredness. While there is no cure for type 1 diabetes, it can be managed through insulin therapy, diet, exercise, and self-monitoring of blood glucose levels. Global type 1 diabetes market consists of devices and therapeutics used for monitoring and managing blood glucose levels in type 1 diabetes patients.
