In my experience, I've seen kids do a better job of managing their diabetes than many adults. Adults tend to be much more lazy about testing and watching what they eat.
how come a child have a diabetes? Its very rampant nowadays that kids as young as a year old has diabetes. How come a baby gets a diabetes in his early years? What are causes on[/align] this?

As with adults, the cause of childhood diabetes is not understood. It probably involves a combination of genes and environmental triggers. The majority of children who develop Type 1 don't have a family history of diabetes.
I have to agree with FrisArvz. An estimated 17 million people in the U.S. have diabetes, of which about 1.4 million have Type 1 diabetes. The highest prevalence of Type 1 diabetes is in Scandinavia, where it comprises up to 20 percent of the total number of patients with diabetes.
The prevalence of Type 1 diabetes is about 5-10 percent of the total number of diabetes patients in the U.S., while in Japan and China, less than 1 percent of patients with diabetes have Type 1. Approximately 35 American children are diagnosed with juvenile diabetes every day.
The exact cause of Type 1 diabetes (juvenile diabetes) is still unclear. However, it is believed that Type 1 diabetes results from an infectious or toxic insult to persons whose immune system is genetically predisposed to develop an aggressive autoimmune response either against altered pancreatic B antigens (proteins) or against molecules of the B cell resembling a viral protein (called molecular mimicry).
It is not caused by obesity or by eating excessive sugar. The risk of juvenile diabetes is higher than virtually all other severe chronic diseases of childhood. Juvenile diabetes tends to run in families. Brothers and sisters of a child with juvenile diabetes have at least 100 times the risk of developing juvenile diabetes as a child in an unaffected family.
Hi Health News,
Well, I know the conditions of the small children's which are facing the deadly diseases like diabetics and cancer. I want to do pray for the small children's ,god gave them strength and energy to fight against diseases. Diabetics is hereditary diseases which come from parents and it can not be 100% cured.It decrease the level of insulin hormones in the human body and decrease the healing power of the body. It all about the genes and chromosomes on the DNA of the children which alter and triggers at instance of the time. God bless small children's and give them strength and energy to fight the fatal diseases.
Thanks
diabetes in childhood due to large amount of sugar milk or mother take more sugar at baby fooding
Hi
There are many types of diabetes. Type 1 Diabetes in children typically develops rather quickly and symptoms show up all of a sudden in a couple weeks time period. Increased thirst with the natural accompanying increased urination can be a symptom. Usually other symptoms show up soon after. Extreme hunger, fatigue, weight loss, and blurred vision are common first symptoms. Type 2 Diabetes tends to develop slowly and sores that take a long time to heal or frequent infections can be a symptom in addition to the same ones that are prevalent with Type 1. ADDED: Because I had Gestational Diabetes with my 4th pregnancy 11 years ago and was diagnosed with Glucose Intolerance, a pre-diabetic condition, about a year ago I have done some research on Diabetes and had never heard about ridges on your fingernails being an indicator of diabetes.
