Overview

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks and destroys insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. As a result, the body cannot produce enough insulin, causing high blood sugar levels. It commonly develops in children and young adults but can occur at any age.
Uveitis
Uveitis is inflammation of the uvea, the middle layer of the eye, which can cause pain, redness, and vision problems.
