Type 1 Diabetes
Specialist management of Type 1 diabetes, combining the latest insulin therapies and technology with personalised, patient-centred care.
What Is Type 1 Diabetes?
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition in which the body's immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas. Without insulin, the body cannot regulate blood sugar levels, making lifelong insulin therapy essential.
It typically develops in childhood or early adulthood but can occur at any age. With the right support, technology, and specialist guidance, people with Type 1 diabetes can lead full, active lives.
Dr Humayun provides expert, consultant-led care for Type 1 diabetes, combining evidence-based medicine with the latest advances in insulin delivery and glucose monitoring technology.
