Type I

This condition occurs when the pancreas stops producing insulin creating immediate insulin-dependence which is life-long. Children of any age can contract Type 1 which cannot be prevented. The cause of the pancreatic failure is yet to be verified. Currently there is no cure for any form of diabetes.
