Previously known as juvenile diabetes, this is the type of the disease in which the body does not produce its own insulin.  Insulin is a hormone responsible for converting sugar, starches and other foods into energy needed for human metabolism. About 5% of people with diabetes have this form of the illness, so it is quite rare.
