I am not aware of any sources for this kind of financial assistance, but I would recommend contacting the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation at www.jdrf.org/ and click on the link for the Online Diabetes Support Team. This will bring you to a form to fill out and submit... tell them what you have told us here, and they will send your request to the staff member who handles all of the financial help questions. Hopefully he will have some suggestions for you.
My 9 year old may be showing a few signs of juvenile diabetes, such as headaches, fatigue, behavioral changes/mood swings, persistant hunger; sometimes she's sweaty, then can quickly become very cold. Bouts of blurry vision and "itchy" sensations during her temperment changes. Daily feelings of nausea (always early morning pre-meal and just before bed), particularly over the last month. Sleep at night seems to be relatively undisturbed.
Having been through it very recently myself, I can understand how you feel. And I forgot to mention...in addition to the other symptoms of Type 1 diabetes, my son's weight also plunged from 43 pounds at his six-year checkup in February down to 38 pounds the day he was diagnosed. He has since gained all that weight back and looks much better.
As to behaving badly in daycare, irritability is among the major symptoms of juvenile diabetes. Be SURE to get your daughter to a doctor before - and I really hate to say this - it's too late. Untreated juvenile diabetes is life-threatening and, if ignored, leads to coma and death. It is a VERY treatable condition, but it MUST BE TREATED. She should have her blood sugar level and urine checked.
My nephew is 24 and has had juvenile diabetes since he was a pre-teen. During his teen years, a therapist said he had Oppositional Defiant Disorder. He does not take care of himself, can't keep a job. He lives in Oklahoma and family has been buying his medicines. He seems to be rebelling. What can we do and is there any help available for him in Oklahoma? His parents went through all kinds of education with him and diabetic camps with him when he was diagnosed.
This project requires a research paper with at least 1 interview and a physical product. My research paper is the cause and effect of Juvenile Diabetes on a persons psyche and physical body. My product is mentoring newly diagnosed diabetic. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to answer a few questions for me.
1) How did you feel when you were first diagnosed with Juvenile Diabetes?
2) What was your initial fear? Do you have a new fear today? If so what is it?
They certainly could be. Did the doctors test her for diabetes? If not, insist they do so.
Keep some small juice boxes or cans handy wherever you are, and if he complains of headache, fatigue, or if he seems cold for no reason, you may want to offer some juice to bring sugar levels up. If I were you, I would ask to be referred to a juvenile diabetes specialist, who can tell you first-hand that seizures can be caused by severe hypoglycemia. No, he does not sound like he is diabetic, but severe hypoglycemia can be just as scary for parents to deal with.
The cause of Juvenile Diabetes is thought to be a malfunction in the autoimmune function of the body. People carrying certain genetic predisposition can become type 1 diabetics (called Juvenile Diabetes because it frequently happens during childhood, when viral attacks are common) when a viral infection somehow triggers the body's immune system to attack it's own insulin-producing cells as well as the virus.
Ok I Read Over All Of The
I just turned 59 and suddenly developed all the symptoms of type 1 diabetes. My wife had been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes a few months earlier and because she had a glucometer I had tested my glucose to find it was normal. I am wondering how I can develop diabetes overnight without any previous symptoms. It seems strange that both of us get diabetets at about the same time but different types of diabetets. Any thoughts?
Okay I'm 22 now but have had my diabetes since the age of 12 my question n main concern is if my kids r at risk I have a 3 yr old that as of Tuesday is going to a dietician because they say she is over weight she is only 38lbs n is a pretty good size in height but I guess they see her obese...
Hello 3babies,
You've come to a good place for information about juvenile diabetes. It is great that you've contaacted your child's pediatrician, since that is first call I would tell you to make. The symptoms you describe are some of the classic symptoms of juvenile diabetes. I'm not a physician, and so my perception is "just" that of a person who's had diabetes for a long time.
hi there, you use different measures than we do in uk but juvenile diabetes starts with the blood sugars running extremly high pretty much all the time until insulin is commenced. there would also be ketones present. i think you should take your little one to the doctor for a thourogh physical, i dont think youll be able to relax about her otherwise.
I am not a physician, but a mom of a type one and the daughter of a type 2. In a type one diabetic commonly called Juvenile diabetes( because it usually is diagnoses in children , but I know people that were in they 30's and 40's and were diagnosed) is when the body stop s producing insulin.
Type 2 diabetics your body still produces insulin, but cannot use it properly use the insulin without help of medication.
