Patient's question:
My son is currently just seven years old, and I don't know what's wrong with him. Recently, he has been saying that his mouth is particularly dry and that he can drink a lot of water. He has also experienced a significant increase in appetite. The most noticeable symptom recently is that he loves going to the bathroom very much, and the frequency of urination has clearly increased. After a thorough examination at the hospital, he was diagnosed with diabetes.What kind of help is needed: What are the symptoms of childhood diabetes?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the child has again shown symptoms of diabetes, which is primarily considered type 1 diabetes. This issue is caused by the body's inability to excrete insulin. For type 1 diabetes, lifelong insulin use is required to control it, and regular blood sugar checks are necessary to prevent the recurrence of diabetic ketoacidosis! Properly comfort the child and educate them to self-administer insulin vaccinations to prevent resistance.
