What is another word for insulin-dependent diabetes?
Pronunciation: [ˈɪnsuːlˌɪndɪpˈɛndənt da͡ɪ͡əbˈiːtiːz] (IPA) 
Insulin-dependent diabetes is also commonly known as Type 1 diabetes. This is a chronic condition that affects the body's ability to produce insulin, which regulates the level of glucose in the blood. Some other synonyms for insulin-dependent diabetes include juvenile diabetes, autoimmune diabetes, and early-onset diabetes. The term juvenile diabetes refers to the fact that Type 1 diabetes is often diagnosed in childhood or adolescence. Autoimmune diabetes indicates that the condition is caused by the immune system attacking and destroying the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Finally, early-onset diabetes is another way of describing the age at which the condition is typically diagnosed. Whatever term you use, insulin-dependent diabetes requires careful management and monitoring to avoid serious complications.
