Common Questions and Answers about Diabetes type kids

Hello. I'm not a medical professional, just the parent of a kid with diabetes. A normal, healthy blood sugar range is between 80 and 120, so a 96 is likely just fine. You could verify that with a check prior to eating breakfast in the morning, as well as a check 2 hours after a regular meal. Now just because the top end of the range is 120, sometimes healthy people's blood sugars fall outside that range, but it will always go back to normal ranges.
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.
m close to that are all type 1 diabetes. None of them know each other and all I met as a mom with my own kids that are their kids friends. They manage their own diabetes with no issue. They do use insulin and monitor their blood sugar. Two have children that do not have diabetes and are now in late teens (so type one which is considered juvenile diabetes usually shows by now) and one does have one of her three kids also diabetic.
Your girlfriend is not flawed because she has 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...
s an interesting question. Type 1 diabetes needs to be monitored. Is your child routinely stable with insulin? Instability in the diabetes can create a situation of behavior issues. Diabetes has a pretty high rate of depression in kids, 15 to 20% according to the Childhood Diabetes Association. https://www.childrensdiabetesfoundation.org/type-1-diabetes-and-mental-health/ Your child was diagnosed with a lifetime disorder and it's a lot to deal with. Anxiety is also high in these kids.
My son was the first to get an AI (type I diabetes) at the age of 10. At that time, I was healthy as a horse (not nearly as big, though..lol). Since then, I've had a sister and a nephew also dx'd with type I diabetes, I have PA and Hashimoto's, my daughter has lupus and my oldest grandson has type I diabetes.
Hi Dalki,
Yes, in time your doctor will likely know for sure which type of diabetes you have. In addition to Type 1 and Type 2, there seems to be a type 1.5 ... tho' there's some thought that 1.5s are just in the early stages of Type 1. We DMers (folks with diabetes mellitis) and our docs often call that a honeymoon phase.
I hope you're feeling better now that your bloodsugar has begun to come down. Things may remain volatile for a while, so try to be patient with yourself.
t necessarily mean a child will develop diabetes, and in particular not develop type 2 diabetes. Type 2 is primarily controlled with diet and exercise, so there is likely no greater risk of the child developing diabetes than anyone else. If the father is diabetic, either type 1 or 2, it is irrelevant to intercourse or child birth.
The best way to prevent type 2 diabetes in kids is to let them get plenty of exercise and make sure they eat a well balanced diet.
On the emotional side, I think that Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are very similar. Both come along with complications or risks of them, and with psychological & emotional pressures, worries, feeling guilty, feeling angry, feeling despair. Folks with either type of diabetes can also enjoy all the good emotions: hope, contentment, happiness, love, compassion.
My son has type one diabetes and depression I think we have been through alot but the diabetes is bad we try and keep it under control but I have not been there in a month or so with him he has been with his dad witch we are getting divorced because he is abusive well my son is bad his health is very bad I don't know what to do about it who I talk to or even ask what to do or who to ask I can't sit back and watch him slowly kill himself anymore I can.
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.
Most have absolutely no idea what type 1 diabetes is, for all of the media publicity is about type 2 diabetes, which has different causes and treatments. I find that most people are fascinated to learn that type 1 is an autoimmune disease, and that it is related to other autoimmune diseases like thyroid disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and Lupus.

In general, if you are a man with type 1 diabetes, the odds of your child getting diabetes are 1 in 17. If you are a woman with type 1 diabetes and your child was born before you were 25, your child's risk is 1 in 25; if your child was born after you turned 25, your child's risk is 1 in 100.
Your child's risk is doubled if you developed diabetes before age 11. If both you and your partner have type 1 diabetes, the risk is between 1 in 10 and 1 in 4.
First of all Type 2 diabetes does run in the family. I had gestational diabetes in two of my pregnancies. Lately but not everysingle day however more often now I am continuously feeling nausiated, at times a headache or mild diziness with it. At times I go to the toilet feeling as if I am going to vomit (but I dont). I am absolutely not pregnant (I had a tubal ligation). there are times when I get shaky or irritable or feel a head rush without food. I am 5'4" inches tall.
Yes and a person much older say 50 or more can be dx'd with type one. Type 1 isn't just for kids anymore.
There is
type 1
type 2
type 1.
Some people are able to control Type 2 diabetes with losing and maintaining healthy weight, lowering carb intake and regular exercise. Some are not, and need medication. It is impossible to answer your question because every diabetic is different and it would depend on how high your numbers were to begin with and what you ate and did. Serious consequences (complications) from diabetes don't occur in 24 hours, they occur over time spent at high numbers.
Hi, I am planning to marry a beautiful girl who has type 1 diabetes. I love her dearly and her diabetes does not change that. She was diagonosed when she was 3. She has to take Insulin injections every day twice. My question is that can we have kids in future and will there be any complications in future. I am willing to walk extra mile with her. I want to help her but she is very sensitive when it comes to diabetes.
Hello, given your age and your weight, have you been tested for type 1 diabetes? Testing for this involves testing c-peptide, insulin levels, and for antibodies. Please ask your doctor about this, particularly if the medications you have been given seem not to be working very well.
Diabetes is surely a shock diagnoses. But it can be manageable.
I suggest you look into low carb / ketogenic diet. It can be very helpful.
