Patient's question:
Hello everyone, my daughter is 10 years old. Recently, she has been lacking energy and constantly feeling hungry, losing a lot of weight, and not being in good spirits. The hospital examination results showed that she has diabetes. I am very worried. Experts, can the condition be treated surgically? What are the costs?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your child's condition is Type 1 diabetes, which primarily develops during adolescence and is associated with autoimmune issues, with a genetic predisposition. Tests can show insufficient insulin secretion. Currently, insulin therapy is commonly used. Pancreas or islet cell transplantation is possible, but finding a donor can be challenging, and the cost is relatively high. The technology is also being further researched and improved.
