Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes

Type 1 diabetes, which typically affects children, is brought on by the pancreas' inability to produce insulin. Additionally, the pancreatic beta cells were destroyed by the autoimmune system. One in 400 children, adolescents, and young adults under the age of 20 have type 1 diabetes. When a youngster exhibits the typical signs and symptoms of diabetes, together with unusually high blood glucose levels and ketones in the urine, the diagnosis is made. Diabetes type 1 is a chronic condition that has no known cure. The most effective treatment for type 1 diabetes, however, is the prescription of insulin.
