How a Dietitian Can Help with Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is where your body is unable to make insulin as cells in the pancreas have been destroyed. Insulin helps your body use glucose by moving it from the blood into the cells where it can be used or stored. Without insulin, glucose can't move from the bloodstream and builds up leading to short-term and long-term health problems.
