Type 1 diabetes causes the level of glucose (sugar) in your blood to become too high. This is due to the immune system attacking the beta cells in the pancreas, inhibiting the production of insulin. It has nothing to do with weight or how much sugar you eat. Insulin is a hormone that regulates the amount of sugar in your blood by acting as a "key" to the cells in your body, opening them up and allowing the sugar in so it can be used for energy and normal metabolic function.
People with Type One Diabetes rely on daily injections of insulin to keep blood glucose under control and stay alive. It is different to Type Two Diabetes which is where the pancreas still produces insulin but the body cannot use it properly or the pancreas doesn't produce enough of it - it can be linked to weight but also genetics or old age.
