Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), also known as type 1 diabetes, usually starts before 15 years of age, but can occur in adults also. Diabetes involves the pancreas gland, which is located behind the stomach (Picture 1). The special cells (beta cells) of the pancreas produce a hormone called insulin.
Diabetes. Type 1 diabetes occurs when the body does not produce insulin, and therefore is often insulin-dependent. Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body produces too little insulin or the cells do not respond to insulin. This type may or may not be dependent on insulin.nsulin-dependent diabetes requires careful monitoring of food intake and units of insulin injected. One unit insulin is required for every 15 grams of carbohydrates consumed.
