But some new, more independent devices can revolutionize its management, including in children, while in some rare forms of genetic origin, drug treatments can enable young patients to live without insulin injections.
Type 1 diabetes, which most frequently appears in children, or young people, is an autoimmune disease during which the organism attacks pancreatic cells, which produce insulin.
According to the International Federation of Diabetes, this form of diabetes affects more than 1.1 million children worldwide.
