Type 1 diabetes is a serious condition where your blood glucose (sugar) level is too high because your body cannot make a hormone called insulin.
Insulin is normally secreted by the beta cells (a type of islet cell) of the pancreas. The stimulus for insulin secretion is a high blood glucose.. Although there is always a low level of insulin secreted by the pancreas, the amount secreted into the blood increases as the blood glucose rises. Usually healthy body maintains it at 90mg/dl.
If your insulin level falls too low overnight, your blood glucose rises. The reasons for the drop in insulin vary from person to person, but it most commonly occurs when your insulin secretion provide too little basal back up hence the glucose levels shoots up.
It takes few years or upto 1 year to develop type1 diabetes
