Patients who are diagnosed with type one diabetes need to rely on external insulin because their pancreas does not produce its own insulin. (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International, 2006) The Pancreas is an organism in the digestive system. (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International, 2006) The Pancreas supports the insulin needed to stay healthy. (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International, 2006) Insulin regulates the sugar needed to stay healthy and contains 51 amino acids. It was founded by two Canadians, Best and Banting in 1921-1922. (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International, 2006) Insulin acts as a protein for the pancreas and helps patients survive diabetes. (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International, 2006) Insulin helps the cells access calories(Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International, 2006) If cells are not able to access calories one who has type one diabetes would always be hungry. (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International, 2006) The Carbohydrates is sugar and the insulin provides the things needed to get the sugar. (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International, 2006) Patients who suffer type one diabetes fail to produce insulin from their Pancreas and do not get the right sugar levels, the patient then gets insulin from various ways and their sugar level is balanced. (Juvenile Diabetes)

Patients who have type 1 diabetes have a higher than normal sugar level, they use insulin to lower or regulate their levels of sugar. (Insulin Pump Therapy, 2006) Our bodies need the blood sugar to maintain a normal and narrow range. (Insulin Pump Therapy, 2006) The two hormones which allow this to happen are insulin and glucagons. (Insulin Pump Therapy, 2006) Both of these hormones come from the pancreas and are known as the pancreatic endocrine hormones. (Insulin Pump Therapy, 2006) Patients who have type 1 diabetes can sometimes have the glucagons and not have the insulin. (Insulin Pump Therapy, 2006)
