    Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action or both. The chronic hyperglycemia of diabetes is associated with long term damage, dysfunction, and failure of various organs especially the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart, and blood vessels. Type 1 DM once known as juvenile diabetes or Insulin dependent diabetes, is a chronic condition in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin. Although type

    Type one diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a genetic autoimmune metabolic condition that requires diligent self-management and monitoring. Poorly managed or untreated T1DM can lead to serious complications and even death. Type 1 Diabetes occurs when the insulin producing beta cells also know as islet cells, produced in the islet of langethan, are attacked in the pancreases resulting in little to no insulin production. This leads to elevated levels of blood glucose (more than 8mmol/L) and if left uncontrolled
