Patient's question:
The child of my older brother is only 10 years old this year, but recently the child hasn't been eating enough and gets hungry again after a while. Later, they went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said they had diabetes. In this case, how should we take care of them?Doctor's answer:
Hello, to prevent hypoglycemia, children with diabetes have large blood sugar fluctuations, and they are prone to both high and low blood sugar levels. When blood sugar is close to the normal range, it is especially important to be mindful of hypoglycemia. Pay attention to the issue of snacks during the peak effect of insulin. If the patient experiences mild hypoglycemic symptoms, they should immediately consume sugar water or take a main meal, which can quickly alleviate the condition.
