Answer to Question 1

Type 1 diabetes is related to immune function and results in virtually no insulin production. Children with type 1 diabetes have both high and low blood sugars, not just high blood sugars, as in type 2 diabetes. Increasingly, children with type 1 diabetes mellitus are managed with insulin pumps set to inject small amounts of insulin continuously and in response to meals.
