Diabetes: Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (Type I) 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.
There are two main types of diabetes: type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. A family history of diabetes can significantly increase a person's risk of developing the condition. Type 1 Diabetes Type 1 diabetes is a serious condition that occurs when the pancreas makes little or no insulin.Without insulin, the body is unable to take the glucose (blood sugar) it gets from food into cells to fuel the body. People with type 1 diabetes must take daily insulin or other medications daily.For that reason, this type of diabetes is also referred to as insulin-dependent diabetes.Type 1 diabetes was previously known as juvenile diabetes because it's usually diagnosed in children and young adults.eople with type 1 diabetes must take daily insulin or other medications daily.
