  <\/span>Introduction<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  Type 1 diabetes (previously known as Juvenile diabetes), like other diseases, has been on the rise.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
  \u00a0It is a type of autoimmune disease. The pancreas does not produce enough insulin<\/a><\/strong> to convert blood sugar into energy. This type of Diabetes in children cannot be cured and is a lifelong predicament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
  Providing healthy food options and inculcating good lifestyle habits like regular exercise and proper sleep are essential for better health and well-being. Encourage your children to eat a diet low in fat, sugar, processed foods and to eat nutrient-rich food like fruits and vegetables, lean meats, and protein-rich foods. Drinking an ample amount of water is also beneficial for better health, growth, and prevention of various diseases. There are certain warning signs that trigger the possibility of diabetes in children 1<\/a><\/sup>. They are listed below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  If a child has diabetes and it isn\u2019t diagnosed for a long time or they also become unwell with an infection, they may be at risk of diabetic coma which may make them lose consciousness because of brain swelling.<\/p>\n Dr. Ashish Bajaj, M.B.B.S.

  $\"extreme$ <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
  The child experiences several bouts of extensive thirst as the blood sugar pulls out water from the cells. This also leads to frequent urination. Some children even start bedwetting ^{2<\/sup><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n}
  <\/span>2. Dry Mouth and Itchy Skin<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  $\"itchy$ <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
  Patients start suffering from itchy skin and dry mouths. This is because of a lack of fluids in the body that manifests as these symptoms ^{2<\/sup><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n}
  <\/span>3. Extreme Hunger<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  $\"extreme$ <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

  The most common signs of diabetes in toddlers and children include an increase in thirst and more frequent or increased urination. Most of the time in my practice, I have seen that most children\u2019s parents notice ants around the child\u2019s urine in the bathroom.<\/p>\n Dr. M.G.

  $\"unexplainable$ <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
