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.
Studies have suggested that the life expectancy in insulin dependent diabetes may depend on the age of the patient at the onset of diabetes and various complications that may arise with people who are diagnosed with insulin dependent diabetes, also known as type 1 diabetes.
