data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>What is the definition of type 1 diabetes or juvenile diabetes?<\/h2><p>Type 1 <strong>diabetes<\/strong> is an <strong>autoimmune disease<\/strong> in which the <strong>immune system<\/strong> attacks the beta cells of the <strong>islets of Langerhans<\/strong> in the pancreas. These cells are essential for the production of <strong>insulin<\/strong>, which regulates the level of <strong>glucose<\/strong> (or <strong>blood sugar<\/strong>) by facilitating its entry into cells to be used as an energy source. In the absence of insulin, glucose accumulates in the blood, leading to <strong>hyperglycemia<\/strong>. This disease is called <strong>juvenile diabetes<\/strong> because it is often diagnosed in children and adolescents, although it can appear at any age.   <\/p><p>According to the <strong>High Authority of Health<\/strong>, the <strong>diagnosis of diabetes<\/strong> type 1 is usually made before the age of 45, with an immediate need for insulin treatment. Understanding the <strong>origin of diabetes<\/strong> type 1 is essential for developing effective prevention and management strategies. <\/p><h2>At what age does type 1 diabetes start?<\/h2><p>Type 1 <strong>diabetes<\/strong> can occur at any age, but it is most often diagnosed in children, adolescents, and young adults. In France, the <strong>incidence of diabetes<\/strong> type 1 is increasing by 3 to 4% per year for about 20 years, with a noticeable increase in children under 5 years old. In some infants, the onset can occur in the first <strong>months of life<\/strong>, although this is rare. Half of the cases occur before the age of 20. However, it is not uncommon to diagnose this disease in adult patients, even after 40 years, although this is less common. In addition, diagnosing type 1 diabetes in <strong>adults<\/strong> requires special attention, as symptoms may be less obvious.     <\/p><h2>What are the risk factors for insulin-dependent diabetes?<\/h2><p>Several <a href=\"https:\/\/diabet.fr\/diabetes\/diabete-type-1\/facteurs-de-risque\/\">factors<\/a> can increase the <strong>risk of developing<\/strong> <strong>insulin-dependent diabetes<\/strong>:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Genetic predisposition<\/strong>: Patients with a parent suffering from type 1 diabetes have an increased risk of developing the condition.<\/li><li><strong>Environmental exposures<\/strong>: Factors such as certain viral infections (for example, enterovirus infections), <strong>exposure to toxins<\/strong>, or changes in the <strong>gut flora<\/strong> could influence the onset of a glycemic disorder.<\/li><li><strong>Type of breastfeeding<\/strong>: Studies suggest that the type of breastfeeding during the first months of life could play a role, although the mechanisms are not clearly established.<\/li><li><strong>Immunological factors<\/strong>: The presence of <strong>auto-antibodies<\/strong> may indicate a predisposition.<\/li><\/ul><p>Furthermore, the <strong>incidence of diabetes<\/strong> type 1 varies by region, suggesting that local environmental factors play a role. <strong>Environmental changes<\/strong>, such as shifts in diet or exposure to new infectious agents, could also contribute to its <strong>increasing prevalence<\/strong>. <\/p><h2>What are the causes of type 1 diabetes?<\/h2><p>Type 1 <strong>diabetes<\/strong> results from a complex interaction between genetic and environmental factors:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Autoimmune reaction<\/strong>: The <strong>immune system<\/strong>, normally responsible for defending the body against pathogens, turns against the <strong>beta cells of the pancreas<\/strong>, gradually destroying them. This immune attack leads to a decrease, then a total absence of <strong>insulin<\/strong> production. <\/li><li><strong>Genetic factors<\/strong>: Variations in certain genes of the HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) system increase susceptibility to the disease.<\/li><li><strong>Environmental factors<\/strong>: Viral infections (such as enteroviruses), <strong>exposure to environmental or food toxins<\/strong>, and changes in the <strong>intestinal flora<\/strong> are considered as potential triggers.<\/li><\/ul><p>The exact <strong>mechanisms<\/strong> of the <strong>origin of diabetes<\/strong> type 1 are still poorly understood, and <strong>research<\/strong> continues to seek new <strong>leads<\/strong> to explain this disease. It is important to note that the mere presence of genetic predispositions does not systematically lead to type 1 diabetes; they increase the risk, but other factors are necessary to trigger the disease. <\/p><h2>Is there a heredity in type 1 diabetes?<\/h2><p>Yes, there is a <a href=\"https:\/\/diabet.fr\/diabetes\/diabete-type-1\/heredite\/\">hereditary component<\/a>. A patient with a first-degree relative (father, mother, brother, or sister) with this disease has an increased risk of developing it. However, heredity alone does not explain the occurrence of type 1 diabetes. The disease results from an interaction between <strong>genetic predispositions<\/strong> to susceptibility and <strong>environmental risks<\/strong>. It is also common for associated autoimmune diseases, such as celiac disease or autoimmune thyroiditis, to be present in the same family.    <\/p><h2>What are the symptoms of type 1 diabetes?<\/h2><p>The signs usually appear quickly and may include:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Polydipsia<\/strong> : a <strong>intense and constant thirst<\/strong>.<\/li><li><strong>Polyuria<\/strong>: an <strong>increase in frequency<\/strong> and volume of urination, which can lead to <strong>bedwetting<\/strong> in children.<\/li><li><strong>Rapid weight loss<\/strong> despite a <strong>good appetite<\/strong>.<\/li><li><strong>Extreme fatigue<\/strong> and irritability.<\/li><li><strong>Blurred vision<\/strong> due to hyperglycemia.<\/li><li><strong>Recurrent infections<\/strong> such as skin or urinary infections.<\/li><li><strong>Nausea<\/strong> and <strong>vomiting<\/strong> in case of complications.<\/li><\/ul><p>In some <strong>cases of diabetes<\/strong> type 1, the signs can be confused with other diseases, delaying diagnosis. These symptoms are the result of the cells&#8217; inability to use <strong>glucose<\/strong> to produce energy, due to a lack of <strong>insulin<\/strong>. <\/p><h2>What are the signs of diabetes decompensation?<\/h2><p>The <strong>diabetic decompensation<\/strong> occurs when diabetes is undiagnosed or inadequately treated. The signs include: <\/p><ul><li><strong>Diabetic ketoacidosis<\/strong>: accumulation of <strong>ketone bodies<\/strong> in the blood due to the use of fats as an energy source. This can result in fruity-smelling breath, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. <\/li><li><strong>Severe dehydration<\/strong> due to polyuria.<\/li><li><strong>Consciousness disorders<\/strong> ranging from drowsiness to coma in severe cases.<\/li><li><strong>Kussmaul breathing<\/strong>: a deep and labored breathing to compensate for metabolic acidosis.<\/li><\/ul><p>This situation can occur <strong>years after the onset<\/strong> of the disease if it is not properly managed. The <strong>successive measurements<\/strong> of the blood sugar level are essential for preventing this complication. Decompensation is a medical emergency requiring rapid intervention to avoid serious <strong>complications<\/strong>.  <\/p><h2>What are the complications of type 1 diabetes?<\/h2><h3>Insulin dependence<\/h3><p>Patients with type 1 diabetes are <strong>insulin-dependent<\/strong>, meaning they must receive daily exogenous <strong>insulin<\/strong> to survive. Insulin is administered by multiple injections or through an insulin pump. Without this treatment, hyperglycemia persists and patients risk a potentially fatal <strong>diabetic ketoacidosis<\/strong>. The insulin pump allows continuous insulin administration, improving glycemic control. Although insulin therapy is essential, it can lead to <strong>hypoglycemia<\/strong> in case of overdose or measurement <strong>error<\/strong>. Close monitoring of blood glucose levels is therefore crucial.     <\/p><h3>The consequences on the organs of the disease<\/h3><p>Poorly controlled <strong>blood sugar<\/strong> over the <strong>long term<\/strong> can lead to <strong>microvascular complications<\/strong> and <strong>macrovascular complications<\/strong>:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Diabetic retinopathy<\/strong>: damage to the blood vessels of the retina that can lead to blindness.<\/li><li><strong>Diabetic nephropathy<\/strong>: a kidney condition that can progress to end-stage renal disease.<\/li><li><strong>Diabetic neuropathy<\/strong>: damage to the peripheral nerves causing pain, numbness, or digestive problems.<\/li><li><strong>Cardiovascular diseases<\/strong>: increased risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, and peripheral arterial disease.<\/li><li><strong>Diabetic foot<\/strong>: ulcerations and infections of the foot that can lead to amputations.<\/li><\/ul><p>These complications can appear several <strong>years after the onset<\/strong> of diabetes, especially if the <strong>blood glucose<\/strong> is not properly controlled. It is therefore essential to monitor blood glucose in the long term and to adopt a healthy lifestyle including regular <strong>physical activity<\/strong>. <\/p><h3>Hypoglycemia<\/h3><p><strong>Hypoglycemia<\/strong> occurs when the level of <strong>blood sugar<\/strong> drops below normal values (&lt; 0.70 g\/L). It can be caused by an excessive amount of <strong>insulin<\/strong>, intense <strong>physical exercise<\/strong> without adjusting the insulin dose, or insufficient food intake.  Symptoms include:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Tremors<\/strong>, sweating, palpitations.<\/li><li><strong>Dizziness<\/strong>, vision problems.<\/li><li><strong>Confusion<\/strong>, behavioral disorders.<\/li><li><strong>Loss of consciousness<\/strong> in severe cases.<\/li><\/ul><p>Prevention involves regular <strong>measurement<\/strong> of <strong>blood glucose levels<\/strong> and appropriate adjustment of <strong>treatment<\/strong>. Good management of physical exercise and diet is essential to avoid these <strong>serious complications<\/strong>. <\/p><h2>How is type 1 diabetes diagnosed?<\/h2><h3>Blood glucose disorders<\/h3><p>The diagnosis is based on <strong>successive<\/strong> <strong>blood sugar<\/strong> tests:<\/p><ul><li>A fasting blood sugar \u2265 1.26 g\/L (7.0 mmol\/L) on two consecutive measures .<\/li><li>An random blood glucose level \u2265 2.00 g\/L (11.1 mmol\/L) associated with suggestive symptoms.<\/li><li>A level of <strong>glycated hemoglobin<\/strong> (HbA1c) \u2265 6.5 %.<\/li><\/ul><p>These values confirm a <strong>significant hyperglycemia<\/strong>. Day after day, the rate of blood glucose can fluctuate significantly, making <strong>regular measurements<\/strong> essential for a <strong>reliable diagnosis<\/strong>. Early detection is crucial for initiating <strong>treatment<\/strong> appropriately.  <\/p><h3>The detection of antibodies<\/h3><p>La presence of <strong>auto-antibodies<\/strong> directed against the <strong>beta cells<\/strong> of the pancreas is characteristic of type 1 diabetes:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Auto-antibodies against GAD<\/strong> (glutamate decarboxylase).<\/li><li><strong>Autoantibodies against IA2<\/strong> (Langerhans islets).<\/li><li><strong>Auto-antibodies against insulin<\/strong>.<\/li><\/ul><p>The detection of these autoantibodies helps differentiate type 1 diabetes from type 2 diabetes. The presence of specific autoantibodies demonstrates the attack of the <strong>immune system<\/strong> against the <strong>pancreatic cells<\/strong>, particularly the <strong>Islets of Langerhans<\/strong>. <\/p><h2>Quels traitements sont disponibles ?<\/h2><h3>Insulin therapy with pen<\/h3><p><a href=\"https:\/\/diabet.fr\/traitements\/insulinotherapie\/\">Insulin therapy<\/a> is the cornerstone of <a href=\"https:\/\/diabet.fr\/traitements\/\">treatment<\/a> for type 1 diabetes. It involves subcutaneous injections of <strong>insulin<\/strong> using injection pens: <\/p><ul><li><strong>Insulins rapid-acting<\/strong> or ultra-fast-acting administered before the meals to control the rise of the <strong>blood glucose<\/strong> postprandial.<\/li><li><strong>Long-acting insulins<\/strong> to maintain stable basal blood glucose levels between meals and overnight.<\/li><\/ul><p>The administration schedule is individualized based on the needs of the <strong>patient<\/strong>, their lifestyle, and their dietary habits.<\/p><h3>The insulin pump<\/h3><p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/diabet.fr\/traitements\/pompe-insuline\/\">insulin pump<\/a> is a portable device the <strong>size of a phone<\/strong> that delivers insulin continuously. It allows a <strong>fine-tuning<\/strong> of insulin doses based on the <strong>blood sugar<\/strong> levels measured by the patient. The benefits include:  <\/p><ul><li>A better <strong>quality of life<\/strong> with fewer daily injections.<\/li><li>A more precise management of glycemic variations.<\/li><li>A reduction in the risk of <strong>hypoglycemia<\/strong>.<\/li><\/ul><h3>The transplantation of Langerhans islets of pancreatic cells<\/h3><p>For patients whose diabetes is difficult to manage, a <strong>Langerhans islets transplant<\/strong> may be considered. This procedure involves transplanting <strong>insulin<\/strong>-producing cells into the patient&#8217;s liver. The challenges associated with this technique include:  <\/p><ul><li>The need for immunosuppressive treatments to prevent graft rejection.<\/li><li>Limited availability of pancreatic islets.<\/li><li>Variable outcomes in terms of sustainable restoration of insulin production.<\/li><\/ul><p>Thanks to advances in <strong>science<\/strong>, innovative grafting techniques are being developed to improve the efficiency of this <strong>treatment<\/strong>. <strong>Research<\/strong> is also continuing to explore other <strong>therapeutic avenues<\/strong> to provide new options for patients. <\/p><h2>How to live with type 1 diabetes on a daily basis?<\/h2><p>Living with <strong>type 1 diabetes<\/strong> requires rigorous <strong>self-management<\/strong>:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Glucose monitoring<\/strong> : Regular <strong>measurement<\/strong> of <strong>blood glucose levels<\/strong> using glucose meters or continuous monitoring devices.<\/li><li><strong>Insulin dose adjustment<\/strong> : Dose adjustments based on food intake, <strong>physical exercise<\/strong> and blood glucose results.<\/li><li><strong>Balanced diet<\/strong>: Adoption of a suitable diet, distributing carbohydrates regularly to avoid glycemic spikes.<\/li><li><strong>Physical activity<\/strong> : Regular practice of physical exercise taking into account the effect on blood sugar and adapting the <strong>treatment<\/strong> accordingly.<\/li><li><strong>Therapeutic education<\/strong>: Participation in education programs to better understand the <strong>disease<\/strong>, treatment, and self-management techniques.<\/li><li><strong>Regular medical follow-up<\/strong>: Regular consultations with a multidisciplinary medical team to monitor glycemic balance and screen for potential complications.<\/li><\/ul><p>The goal is to keep <strong>blood sugar<\/strong> as close as possible to normal values to prevent <strong>serious complications<\/strong> and improve quality of life.<\/p><h2>What are the current research avenues?<\/h2><p><strong>Research<\/strong> on <strong>type 1 diabetes<\/strong> is very active, with several promising avenues:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Cell therapy <\/strong>: Development of techniques to regenerate the <strong>beta cells <\/strong> or to protect them from autoimmune destruction.<\/li><li><strong>Artificial pancreas<\/strong> : Combination of an <strong>insulin pump<\/strong> and a <strong>glucose sensor<\/strong> to automate the management of insulin.<\/li><li><strong>Immunotherapy<\/strong> : Approaches aimed at modulating the <strong>immune system<\/strong> to stop or slow the destruction of beta
