In type 1 Diabetes the body does not produce insulin (the hormone that converts glucose to energy). Instead the body burns fats to make energy. Type 1 Diabetes is potentially life threatening and insulin injections must be administered daily. Type 1 Diabetes is most common in people under the age of 30 and accounts for 10-15% of Diabetic cases in Australia.
