Patient's question:
The child was raised by his grandparents during his early years. As a child, he consumed a lot of sugar and had a preference for certain foods, avoiding fruits and vegetables. Most importantly, he never developed the habit of drinking boiled water, rarely doing so even in the summer or any other time. Occasionally, he would complain of abdominal pain. During the school health check-up the other day, it was discovered that he has childhood diabetes. This child has always been afraid of injections and medication. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Treatment must use insulin: The characteristics of pediatric diabetes in drug treatment are that most of them are insulin-dependent diabetes, and it is necessary to be mentally and materially prepared for long-term insulin injections. Monitoring can be more frequently used for urine sugar: Like adult diabetics, diabetic children also need to do blood sugar tests frequently, so urine sugar monitoring methods can be used to observe changes in the condition. Parental assistance is required for treatment. Children cannot be independent, so it is necessary to teach parents to master diabetes treatment and health care knowledge.
