Diabetes in children is also known as juvenile diabetes,
but most people know it as type 1 diabetes. It is the most
most common form of diabetes in teens with ninety to
ninety-five percent of carriers being under 16.

Juvenile diabetes is caused by the inability of the
pancreas to produce insulin. It is an autoimmune disease,
which means the bodies own defense system attacks the
body’s tissues or organs.

In the last 30 years the number of juvenile diabetes had
increased dramitic rate in Europe and the US we are
now seeing type 2 diabetes in children for the first time.

Obesity easily explains type 2, but not why there is such a
rise in type 1 diabetes in children. It is understood that a
mixture of genetics and environmental factors are what
triggers juvenile diabetes. But the vast majority of kids
don't have a family history of diabetes.

The symptoms for juvinile diabetes are the same as in
adults. Thirst, weight loss, fatigue, frequent urination is
typical, but diabetes in children can also increase stomach
pains, headaches and behavior problems.

Doctors must into account the possibility of diabetes in
children who have unexplained stomach pains for a few
weeks, along with the typial symptoms.

symptoms you might schedule them for a thorough
examination and advise your Gp what you may suspect your
child may have. Be sure to tell them about any and all diabetes
symptoms your child may be experiencing.
