Syncope is a common event in which there is a transient loss of consciousness and postural tone. Although syncope is generally a benign event in young adults (less than 35 years of age) and, in many cases, never reaches the attention of a physician, exercise-related syncope can signal sudden death.1,2.
Occurs when the body's immune system attacks the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas and destroys them. The pancreas then produces little or no insulin. Type 1 diabetes develops most often in young people but can appear in adults.
ALL diabetes is sugar diabetes. That is the definition of the disease - high blood sugar. Type 1 Diabetes is caused when the pancreas quits. The pancreas then produces NO insulin, and the blood sugar rises. The patient will die fairly quickly (in months) if this disease is not treated using insulin shots. This USUALLY happens in children, but many adults get it, too.
