Common Questions and Answers about Diabetes type children

I also noted the JAMA reminder/caution that food does not cause Type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease. This study and others looked at the impact of specific foods/timing of introduction in at-risk children.
Please know that Type 2 is a completely different disease than Type 1. Type 1 is autoimmune, and researchers are striving to find out what triggers (or doesn't) trigger the disease. Type 2 has completely different origins.
I know I am insulin dependent because I cannot take my pump off except for the rare few minutes or so without my sugar sky rocketing. Now would u still call this Type 2 Diabetes or Type 1? Hearing the words Juvenile Diabetes associated with Type 1 throws me off obviously because I was not diagnosed as a juvenile. But also the words Insulin Dependent are associated with the Type 1. So I DO fit into that category.
My three year old son drinks a lot, uses the restroom quite frequently, and says he's really tired a lot here recently. What is a normal blood sugar for someone his age? And could he possibly have diabetes? He has a family history of both type 1 & 2 diabetes on both sides. He isn't losing any weight and plays as normal.
Hi. I'm not a medical professional, just the parent of a kid with diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is different from type 1 diabetes, which isn't reversible. Type 2 can generally be reversed by changing your diet and getting plenty of exercise. The reason is that type 2 is caused by the body not being able to absorb or use the insulin it creates.
Yes, these are all symptoms of type I diabetes in children. My child was wetting the bed, extremely thirsty all the time and was vomiting; his vomiting, we think, was contributed to a stomach virus he had at the time. We took him to the ER due to dehydration -they did a blood chemistry and his blood sugar was 399-they immediately admitted him to ICU and he was put on IV insulin. He's been a diabetic now for 3 years-he's now 9. He's has handled it amazingly well!
) In a diabetic, glucose levels rise higher than normal after drinking the glucose drink and come down to normal levels much slower (insulin is either not produced, or it is produced but the cells of the body do not respond to it) (see details on type 1 and type 2 diabetes for more information on this topic).
As with fasting or random blood glucose tests, a markedly abnormal oral glucose tolerance test is diagnostic of diabetes.
I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 14. I am now 58 and have 3 grown kids and 4 grandkids.. none have any sign of type 1... I had no problem giving birth and was told they would induce labor early so they babies would not be too big.. If she takes care of her self she can live a long and healthy life...
Both type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes are multifactorial disorders, which means that they involve a combination of genetic, lifestyle and environmental factors. It seems counterintuitive, but type 2 diabetes has a larger hereditary component than type 1 diabetes, even though diet and lifestyle contribute greatly to the development of type 2 diabetes.
From everything I have read and studied, type 2 diabetes is far more a genetic thing than type 1. I was told that the chances of my children developing type 1 diabetes is not much greater than someone who does not have it. My kids are 13 and 16 and no sign of the disease. And I am the one with diabetes. I personally, would not worry about it as you do not have diabetes. Having my children is a far better experience with diabetes than not having had them.
type-2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and a history of autoimmune diseases on his father's side, which is where my daughter seems to have inherited her diabetes.
We knew NONE of that when we married and had kids. It saddens me that one child has diabetes and the other has the risk of all sorts of things (MS, Crohn's and RA all appear in aunts and great-aunts). But do I wish we never had them? ABSOLUTELY NOT.
YA SHE IS ON INSULIN SHE TAKES TOO MUCH Care of herself but doesnt knw why she gets tht mch pain???
My 9 year old son was diagnosed nearly 1 year ago with Type 1 diabetes. About 1 month after the onset he started getting daily headaches. They are very localized (right temple. His pediatrician ordered an MRI which was normal (THANK HEAVENS), but since then we have not been able to rule out the cause of the headaches. Has anyone else experienced such a side effect of insulin or problems with headaches in children with diabetes? I am desperate for help. Thanks.
I would like to ask is this type 1 or type 2 diabetes? Which of this is heriteded? Is there any risk that my future children can herited something like that from their grandfather? If the type of diabetes he has is not herited than it means that i dont have to worry alot about that? Do you guys know any website that explains well the both types, as im really confused.
Thank you very much.
My children have Type 1 diabetes on both sides of the family (maternal grandmother 40++ years) and paternal grandfather ~ 8 years). Many years ago my mother-in-law investigated what should/could be done for "preventing" diabetes in our children. At that time one course of action was to begin low-dose insulin shots PRIOR to any symptoms. I essentially ignored that advice.
Hi all,
Can somebody help me by suggesting the ways to prevent children from developing diabetes. Especially, if the family has the heredity of Type 2 diabetes. Anybody there to share the facts and truth of the having grown up children without diabetes though parents have it and though its present in heredity.
Thanks!
Are you sure the diagnosis is correct? Most children who have type 2 diabetes have a family history of diabetes, are overweight, not very physically active and it usually develops around puberty. Tablets are not suitable for type 1 diabetics. Insulin injections are given daily or several times a day depending on the type of insulin used. An diabetic's HbA1c target is 6.5% or lower.
My friend is 25 years , he is under minimum medication and diabetes was diagnosed a year back....his BS level Under control...medications have been reduced periodically starting 2 tablets a day and now being 1/2 a tablet a day.
1) Is diabetic reversible? Is it possible 4 someone to get free from diabetes, Nil medication, No more diabetic state being well controlled in diet , exercise, and controlled BS level. In such positive note... How and When or How soon we can achieve this?
Most type 1 diabetics do NOT have diabetic children. Most children of diabetic women are very healthy. I have been diabetic since age 12 (35 years now), and am a mother of two children, who are both healthy and happy young adults now in their 20's. So don't necessarily give up on the idea of children. The main issue is how well her diabetes is under control. If she is well-controlled, having children is no more difficult for her than for other young women.
Hello,
I am 21yrs old and I am dating someone who is 22. We have Diabietes type 1 on both sides of our family tree. My Aunt and Uncle have it and His father has it.
1) My question to you is what is the risk of us getting married and passing Diabetes to our children. Could you explain how this works?
2)I know how the virus works but what about the added risk of having it on both sides?
3)Is it true that it Skips a Generation?
4)I have heard from the American Diabietes Asso.
GLUCOPHAGE has been shown to effectively lower glucose levels in children (ages 10 to 16 years) with type 2 diabetes. GLUCOPHAGE has not been studied in children younger than 10 years old.
GLUCOPHAGE has not been studied in combination with other oral glucose-control medicines or insulin in children. If you have any questions about the use of GLUCOPHAGE in children, talk with your doctor or other healthcare provider.
GLUCOPHAGE XR has not been studied in children.
