    Thanks andreinadav. That is our artist Margaret Marston, who has had Type 1 Diabetes for 23 years and has worn a pump for 15 years. We love the video and we love TuDiabetes!

    Signs and symptoms of type 1 diabetes generally are not present until at least 90% of the insulin-producing islet cells of the pancreas have been destroyed. Current research is looking for ways to preserve those cells and increase their numbers.

    Hi Tayla,
    Some of the most common symptoms are EXCESSIVE thirst and urination (many, many times in the course of the night, for instance). There is really no age: type 1 diabetes can develop at a very early age or LADA (a form of type 1) can develop later in life. Type 2 diabetes normally appears in adults, but it’s also appearing in teenagers. VERY high blood sugar levels for sustained periods of time can cause aching and discomfort throughout the body, indeed.

    I need serious answers :
    – What are the symptoms?
    – Are they recognisable?
    – How old can you be?
    – Can it cause joint pains?
    Thanks x x
    Its just i watch and listen to Nick Jonas talk about diabetes, and so im more aware. I think my friend has the symptoms. They thought she had anemia where she doesnt get enough iron. and has a low red blood count, well they were wrong. IT COULD BE TYPE 1 DIABETES ! She is being tested, as we speak.

    azLunatika, you can’t cure type 1 diabetes by eating healthy. Your body is magically going to start producing insulin again if you eat lots of carrots. Thats the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.

    i have type diabetes my name is thomas i am 14 years old i have had it for 4 months now. yes it is hard yes you need a great deal of responcibility (lol i know i spelt that rong) but its managable and thats what matters. its not fatal in this video it shows it through a childs eye’s but it is quite easy to handle and to maintain it becomes second nature and i have not even had it for a year

    I am not saying that this will definitely cure a t1 diabetic- I do however believe that if one follows the diet, their body will have the best chance to naturally heal itself ?
