Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 Diabetes is the most serious version of Diabetes. In most cases, people that have Type 1 Diabetes need to take some form of insulin because their pancreas has completely stopped producing insulin on its own. What this means is that your body muscle, fat, and liver cells do not receive or utilize the insulin as it requires. Insulin is a susbstance that is required in order for your body to have the ability to utilize glucose for energy (glucose is the basic fuel for the cells inside your body). If sugar cannot move from the blood into the cells, the person's blood sugar rises above a safe level and the cells cannot function properly.
With Type 1 Diabetes, the beta cells of the pancreas no longer make insulin because the body’s immune system has attacked and destroyed them. Treatment for Type 1 Diabetes includes taking insulin, making wise food choices, and being physically active.
Taking Glytain has shown an improvement in some of our Type 1 Diabetes customers, Glytain helps to relieve the strain on the beta cells that make up your pancreas. This helps to revive your pancreas so that it can once again perform to the standards that are demanded of it. Over time your pancreas has become weakened from being overworked and in the case of Type 1 Diabetes patients the pancreas has stopped working completely. At this point it can not produce the amount of insulin your body requires to naturally reduce the blood sugar / blood glucose levels in your body. But if you start now and help your body by taking Glytain, eating right, and exercising you have a chance at changing that.
It is possible for Type 1 Diabetes to develop at any age, however it is most common for children and/or young adults to develop Type 1 Diabetes, usually before the age of 30. For this reason Type 1 Diabetes is sometimes referred to as Juvenile Diabetes. It is estimated that about 5%–10% of North American diabetes patients have type 1.
