Type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Diabetes mellitus is a group of conditions that includes both T1 and T2. So you wouldn't want to use that phrase alone.

It's also sometimes called Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, or IDDM. But that name can be confusing since so many T2 diabetics take insulin.

Type One Diabetes Mellitus.

It used to be called Juvenile Diabetes Mellitus till they realized that not all were juvenile. Then they called it Insulin Dependent Diabetes till they realized not all were insulin dependent and some that were insulin dependent were type 2. They could call it Autoimmune Diabetes Mellitus but a recent study proposed that some cases could be a neurologic control disorder so they're pretty much going with just Type One Diabetes Mellitus.

Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 (sometimes abbreviated DM1)

Juvenile Diabetes (no longer used -- adults can get it, too)

Childhood Diabetes (same as above)

Insulin Dependent Diabetes (no longer used -- insulin is the preferred treatment for Type 2 as well)

"The Sugars" (used by people who are are untrained, or didn't pay attention in Science Class)
