When insulin required for breakdown of sugar and converting into energy to body cell is either absent or is insufficient the disease is said to be diabetes type 1. The characteristic features of diabetes type 1 are it is insulin-dependent and mostly begins at child or juvenile stage. Since there is a lack of insulin or less amounts of it in diabetes type 1. It is essential to provide the patient with insulin through oral pills, injection forms, or insulin pump. The type 1 diabetes cause is mostly derived genetically and is commonly noticed in particular races such as Caucasian. The symptoms for diabetes type 1 are quite similar to type 2. Again organs such as heart, eyes, hands and legs, kidney, digestive canal etc are vulnerable to complications from diabetes type 1. A diabetes meter is a boon for diabetics as provides information about a patient’s blood glucose level in a jiffy. The patient can check this in the comfort of his home or work place. Moreover keeping a diabetes meter at home will induce a patient to check the blood glucose frequently.
