What Does IDD Stand For?
IDD stands for Insulin Dependent Diabetes
IDD, or Insulin Dependent Diabetes, refers to a form of diabetes mellitus where the body does not produce sufficient insulin, necessitating exogenous insulin administration for blood glucose management. This condition is primarily associated with Type 1 diabetes, where the immune system attacks insulin-producing pancreatic cells. Individuals with IDD require careful monitoring of their blood sugar levels and adherence to a management plan to prevent complications related to high or low blood glucose. Effective treatment involves not only insulin therapy but also dietary management, regular physical activity, and routine medical check-ups.
