   Type 1 Diabetes can be deadly. If your blood glucose goes too high you run the chance of chemical imbalances and dying. If your blood glucose goes too low you run the chance of insulin shock and dying. Poorly managed diabetes puts you are risks for heart problems, renal problems, eye problems, and neurological problems.
   How do you take care of it? You become extremely informed and carry through with information that is provided to you by your diabetic care team. Keeping your A1Cs at 7 and under. Minimize blood glucose highs and lows by tweaking your sliding scale and accurately counting carbohydrates. Keep accurate records of BGs, ketones, carbs, and insulin intake so you and your team can detect trends.
   Diabetes, after diagnosis, becomes normal to you after awhile. It does take dedication to avoid some of those nasty pitfalls.

   Type 1 diabetes is Very serious and must be treated by a doctor. You must take insulin. Type 1 diabetes usually occurs in adolescence or early adulthood. However, with proper diet and medication it can be controlled very well.

   Diabetes Type ! is as dangerous as not putting Oil in your car, forever. Type 1 Diabetes has a lot of management potentials and one will be set so a Diabetic Regiment can be followed. If you don’t take care of your car and add oil when needed and change the oil when the time arrives the car will destroy it’s self. Thats the same principl of Diabetic mangement. If you don’t take care of your Diabetes1 and do it right and on time it will destroy you. If like a car you remember to add oil and change oil it will last and run forever, Same with the Diabetic Type 1, do and practice what you’ve learned and add Insulin(oil) and you’ll run for ever. Good Luck. Mechanics summary.

   Type 1 diabetes has no cure, but the outlook for people who have the disease is far better today than it was even 20 years ago. Living with type 1 diabetes can still be a challenge, but improvements in patient education, blood sugar monitoring and insulin delivery have simplified the daily routine of managing the disease. Thanks to these and other advances, people with type 1 diabetes may now have life expectancies comparable to those of people without diabetes. The risk of disabling complications from type 1 diabetes has also been reduced.
   Some suggestions from source:
   1. Make a commitment to manage the condition
   2. Have a yearly physical test
   3. have a yearly eye exam
   4. See your dentist for gum infections regularly
   5. Since immune system will be weakened, have needed vaccinations
   6. Take care of your feet- always protect from injury
   7. Stop smoking
   8. Avoid alcohol
   9. Take a daily aspirin- baby aspirin 81 milligrammes
   10. Monitor your blood pressure and fat
   11. Learn to manage stress
