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.
The second type of insulin that type 1 diabetics need is short-acting insulin, which is given to cover the carbohydrates in the food they eat. Short-acting insulins are given just before a meal or snack and, ideally, the dose should vary depending on how many carbohydrates are in the food.
