4	9		HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
5	10		WHEREAS, Type 1.5 diabetes, also known as latent autoimmune
6	11		diabetes, often receives less attention than other types of
7	12		diabetes, yet those affected by the disease face significant health
8	13		risks; and
9	14		WHEREAS, Like other forms of diabetes, type 1.5 is a chronic
10	15		disorder that impairs the body's ability to process blood sugar,
11	16		which can lead to severe complications without medical
12	17		intervention; type 1.5 is often considered to be a subgroup of type
13	18		1 diabetes and, like type 1, it occurs when the pancreas fails to
14	19		produce an adequate supply of insulin; and
15	20		WHEREAS, Type 1.5 diabetes is slow progressing, typically
16	21		developing over a period of a few months to several years; it
17	22		primarily affects adults above age 30, in contrast to type 1, which
18	23		usually first appears during childhood or adolescence; the pancreas
19	24		of a patient with type 1.5 will eventually lose the ability to
20	25		produce insulin entirely, requiring reliance on insulin
21	26		injections; and
22	27		WHEREAS, Treatment of type 1.5 diabetes is often complicated
23	28		by misdiagnosis, with the disease frequently being mistaken for the
24	29		more common type 2 diabetes; this delays proper care and increases
25	30		the risk of long-term complications; medications and lifestyle
26	31		changes that are generally effective at treating type 2 do little to
27	32		help people with type 1.5, who often become dependent on insulin
28	33		therapy within five years of diagnosis; and
29	34		WHEREAS, Increasing public knowledge of type 1.5 diabetes can
30	35		help to ensure that more patients receive the timely care that they
31	36		need, and the observance of Type 1.5 Diabetes Awareness Day serves
32	37		to promote greater understanding of this serious condition; now,
33	38		therefore, be it
34	39		RESOLVED, That the 87th Legislature of the State of Texas
35	40		hereby designate November 5 as Type 1.5 Diabetes Awareness Day;
36	41		and, be it further
37	42		RESOLVED, That, in accordance with the provisions of Section
38	43		391.004(d), Government Code, this designation remain in effect
39	44		until the 10th anniversary of the date this resolution is finally
40	45		passed by the legislature.
