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.
Type 1 diabetes, which used to be called insulin-dependent or juvenile diabetes, is a chronic disease that destroys the bodyâs ability to make insulin, a hormone used to break down and store energy (in the form of glucose or âsugarâ) from foods.
