Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterized by the progressive loss of pancreatic beta cells, resulting in insulin deficiency. This condition requires exogenous insulin therapy to prevent fatal complications caused by hyperglycemia. Effective management of T1D also includes structured diabetes education, proper nutrition, addressing psychosocial issues, and managing comorbidities. Additionally, various challenges must be addressed at different stages of life. Managing T1D in a limited resource setting presents numerous challenges for healthcare professionals. However, an alphabetical approach can help to deliver comprehensive management of T1D and achieve the best possible outcome in a limited resource setting.
