cardiovascular disease and type 1 diabetes
Cardiovascular disease refers to a group of conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels, such as coronary artery disease, heart failure, and stroke. It is characterized by impaired blood flow and can lead to serious health problems. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. This results in a lack of insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. Type 1 diabetes requires daily insulin injections or using an insulin pump to manage blood sugar levels and prevent complications.
