Diabetes is an illness which has different types and has been given numerous definitions by people. I've been diabetic for 2 years now and life hasn't been easy. In case you're wondering about the definition, let me give you the definition. What is Diabetes?
According to one Dr Ananya Mandal,
Diabetes is a condition where the body fails to utilize the ingested glucose properly. This could be due to lack of the hormone insulin or because the insulin that is available is not working effectively. http://www.news-medical.net/health/What-is-Diabetes.aspx Type 1 diabetes as defined by me is when the pancreas fails to produce insulin probably because the pancreatic cells are dead due to some reactions in the body thereby leading to high sugar levels. Life hasn't been easy living with diabetes at a young age of 20 starting at 18. It has affected my life in all ways. I'll post other topics related to type 1 diabetics later. Please take case of your health. Your health is everything @Nairalanders
