Type 1 DiabetesIn type 1 diabetes, the body does not produce insulin, and so food causes hyperglycemia (high blood sugar). Insulin injections help to regulate blood sugar, but can sometimes cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). LADA, or latent autoimmune diabetes in adults, acts like type 1 but develops more slowly, and is usually diagnosed in early adulthood. Diabetes, along with hereditary or chronic pancreatitis, may play a role in the development of pancreatic cancer.
