Diabetes, Pediatric Diabetes, Characteristics of Diabetes

Patient's question:

Main symptoms: Delayed psychomotor development, polyuria
Onset time: Test results: All 3 urine tests were abnormal, with large amounts of 3-hydroxybutyrate, indicating ketosis

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the possibility of ketosis after congenital heart disease surgery is more likely to be due to starvation or stress. However, it should be noted that children are more likely to develop type 1 diabetes. Further examination of pancreatic function is recommended. Suggestions: After active diagnosis and confirmation, active treatment should be initiated. Insulin can be used in appropriate amounts to control blood sugar. Ketosis requires active fluid therapy. Daily care: Avoid letting the baby cry to prevent worsening the burden on the heart.
