Diabetes in children<\/h2>\n

As in adults, diabetes mellitus in children is a metabolic disorder that prevents the body from breaking down and later using the food consumed, especially sugars.<\/p>\n

Diabetes symptoms in children can vary depending on the type.<\/p>\n

Type 1 diabetes in children<\/h2>\n

Type 1 diabetes in children occurs when the body no longer produces insulin, an important hormone, which must be replaced with injections or an insulin pump.<\/p>\n

Type 1 diabetes<\/a> in children was previously known as \u201cinsulin-dependent diabetes\u201d or \u201cjuvenile diabetes,\u201d although some refer to it as pediatric diabetes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Although there is no cure for type 1 diabetes in children, it can be controlled and technological advances have improved the patient\u2019s control and quality of life.<\/p>\n

Type 2 diabetes in children<\/h2>\n

Type 2 diabetes<\/a> in children is a chronic disease that affects the way the body processes glucose for energy, although this type is more common in adults.<\/p>\n

The increase in the number of children with obesity has increased its prevalence.<\/p>\n

How does diabetes manifest in children?<\/h2>\n

Type 1 diabetes can affect major organs in the body, so keeping blood sugar levels close to normal can, most of the time, greatly reduce the risk of other complications.<\/p>\n

Among the symptoms to look for in type 1 diabetes in children are:<\/p>\n

\n
• Increased thirst.<\/li>\n
• Frequent urination.<\/li>\n
• Excessive hunger.<\/li>\n
• Unwanted weight loss.<\/li>\n
• Fatigue.<\/li>\n
• Behavior changes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Type 2 diabetes in children is usually associated with metabolic syndrome and even polycystic ovary syndrome. This type of condition can appear progressively so it may not be noticeable at first.<\/p>\n

  Some children with high blood sugar may sometimes have the following symptoms:<\/p>\n

  \n
  • Increased thirst.<\/li>\n
  • Very hungry.<\/li>\n
  • Fatigue.<\/li>\n
  • Frequent urination.<\/li>\n
  • Blurry vision.<\/li>\n
  • Dark skin areas (neck, armpits, and groin, mainly).<\/li>\n
  • Unwanted weight loss.<\/li>\n
  • Recurring infections.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    In case of detecting one or more of these symptoms, it is recommended to provide medical attention, regardless of whether you are 0 to 3 years old or 6 to 12 years old.<\/p>\n

    Screening for diabetes is also recommended for children who have started puberty, are overweight or obese, and have at least one risk factor.<\/p>\n
