Diabetes Poster
Overview
Type 1 Diabetes is caused by the body’s immune system attacking and destroying the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Type 1 occurs mostly in children and young people. Children who have Type 1 diabetes need to often check the sugar in their blood and need insulin to keep their bodies working well.
