Type 1 diabetes cure in children
Common Questions and Answers about Type 1 diabetes cure in children
diabetes
There is no cure for it I don't think. 1 thing I know with a friend is taking fenugreek seeds. Put 5 fenugreek seeds in a half glass hot water leave overnight and drink the water and eat the seeds. My friend says that it has helped.
I went out to Google and did a search on
diabetes genetic probability "Type 1"
The first article talks a little about it - There seems to be a higher incidence in children with diabetic parents, but it's not a sure thing. I have Type 1 (since age 3) but I had a diabetic great aunt, and my grandmother, while saying we had no family history, also likely wouldn't have told us if her ancestors did, as it would have been a "sign of weakness" - God forbid!
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.
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.
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.
This is absolutely a myth. There is no cure for Type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetics produce insufficient insulin and need insulin to live. People want easy answers and for Type 1 diabetes there aren't any - not yet anyway.
There are many types of natural treatments that are said to help Type 2 diabetes. Perhaps they do. But nothing helps as much as reducing carbs, losing weight and getting regular exercise.
My husband has type 1 diabetes also. My sisters daughter (my niece) got type 1 diabetes when she was 3 and a half. We have three young children of 5,6 and 7 years. Sadly my eldest son got type 1 diabetes when he was 2 and a half. I had been doing some random blood sugar tests on my youngest son who is 5 years old and his readings were coming up as 8.8,9.6,10.7,10.3 and 11.3. However some days they can be completely normal between 4 and 6mmols. His HbA1C was 6.
I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 13 in 1993. I had my first child at age 23 and my second child 23 months later. I used Cord Blood Registry with both of my deliveries and even though it is not 100% that I can ever use it to help cure my diabetes I feel so much better having done it.
JDRF is running a new TV commercial with Mary Tyler Moore, a long-time Type 1 diabetic. In it she says a cure is very close, within the lifetime of today's children and possibly even within her lifetime. As the father of a Type 1, 25 years old, I can only hope and pray she is correct. Are there other believers out there or is this just more of what we have heard for so long?
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.
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.
My daughter was diagnoised with Diabetes while she was going through Chemotherapy for Leukemia when she was 3. The chemo caused the diabetes and I was told that once the chemo was over that the diabetes would go away; well they were wrong!

s own immune system destroys the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas. More than 1 million Americans have Type 1 diabetes, for which there is no cure. In many instances, it is not known why a person develops Type 1 diabetes. They may be genetically predisposed or a so-far unidentified environmental trigger (or triggers).
Type 2 diabetes results when a person becomes resistant to insulin and their body cannot use it efficiently, resulting in high blood sugars.
I am single and do not forsee children in my immediate future. I am a type 1 diabetic and pro-adoption. I have seriously considered what I will decide when the time comes for me to have children. At this point in my life, I feel it will be best for me to adopt. That will ultimately be a decision made when I am married, however I am very much in favor of adoption over a birth child. This is not because I am scared that my child will have diabetes, but more concerned about other disabilities.
I'm a 15 yr old with diabetes type 2 and i'm in need of major support to get through all this! When i found out that i had diabetes at the age of 12 i thought it was just like a virus or something, but i never thought that it was gonna be like a battle field! i can't enjoy most of the things that other kids my age enjoy. Turns out that having diabetes type 2 is ALOT harder of getting rid of (if possible) than i thought.
I have a 14 year old who has had type 1 diabetes for four years. Her average bs is 241 and her a1c is 13! She is on target only 18% of the time (when she tests) in the past year she has been hospitalized twice for DKA and once for chest pain where they were very concerned about her kidneys.She is on intensive insulin management but does not record carbs or insulin administered. She does not think she will get complications. Is there an impartal third party who can WAKE HER UP!
