	Diabetes mellitus type 1 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Type 1 diabetes (formerly known as "childhood" or "juvenile" diabetes or "insulin dependent" diabetes) is most commonly diagnosed in children and adolescents, but can occur in adults as well.
		A subtype of type 1 (identifiable by the presence of antibodies against beta cells) develops slowly and so is often confused with Type 2.
		The fraction of type 1 diabetics in other parts of the world differs; this is likely due to both differences in the rate of type 1 and differences in the rate of other types, most prominently type 2.

	Diabetes mellitus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Early symptoms of type 1 diabetes are often polyuria (frequent urination) and polydipsia (increased thirst, and consequent increased fluid intake).
		Diabetes is often detected when a person suffers a problem frequently caused by diabetes, such as a heart attack, stroke, neuropathy, poor wound healing or a foot ulcer, certain eye problems, certain fungal infections, or delivering a baby with macrosomia or hypoglycemia.
		Diabetes is a chronic disease with no cure (except experimentally in type 1 diabetics) as of 2005.

	Diabetes Mellitus (Diabetes Mellitus Type 1, Type 2) by MedicineNet.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-03)
		Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by high blood sugar (glucose) levels, which result from defects in insulin secretion, or action, or both.
		Diabetes mellitus, commonly referred to as diabetes, means "sweet urine." Elevated levels of blood glucose (hyperglycemia) lead to spillage of glucose into the urine, hence the term sweet urine.
		Diabetes mellitus is also an important factor in accelerating the hardening and narrowing of the arteries (atherosclerosis), leading to strokes, coronary heart diseases, and other blood vessel diseases.

		Type 1 diabetes is a chronic (lifelong) disease that occurs when the pancreas produces too little insulin to regulate blood sugar levels appropriately.
		For all types of diabetes, the metabolism of carbohydrates (including sugars such as glucose), proteins, and fats is altered.

	Diabetes, type 1 definition - Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, Type 1, and Metabolic Disorders treatment and medications
		Diabetes, type 1: An autoimmune disease that occurs when T cells attack and decimate the beta cells in the pancreas that are needed to produce insulin, so that the pancreas makes too little insulin (or no insulin).
		The symptoms and signs of type 1 diabetes characteristically appear abruptly, although the damage to the beta cells may begin much earlier and progress slowly and silently.
		This type of diabetes used to be known as "juvenile diabetes," "juvenile-onset diabetes," and "ketosis-prone diabetes." It is now called type 1 diabetes mellitus or insulin-dependent diabetes.

		Objectives: To systematically review the evidence on the outcomes of contemporary islet transplantation procedures (that used the Edmonton or subsequently developed protocols) that aim at achieving physiologic insulin regulation in patients with labile type 1 diabetes.
		Review Methods: Prospective trials of allogeneic islet transplant for treatment of type 1 diabetes were selected that reported glycemic outcomes and/or adverse events at least 3 months post-procedure, and used the Edmonton or a subsequently developed islet transplant protocol.
		Of 37 patients from three centers, 28 (76 percent) maintained insulin independence at 1 year (published evidence); similarly, 50 to 90 percent of 104 patients from four centers were insulin independent (supplemental evidence).
