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.
The constant, unquenchable thirst is a classic symptom of juvenile diabetes. The frequent urination also points to juvenile diabetes. I have never heard of body odor being a symptom. I've also never heard of cold being a symptom, but weakness, lethargy, and weight loss are all major symptoms - and the weight loss in particular could lead to feeling cold. As to behaving badly in daycare, irritability is among the major symptoms of juvenile diabetes.
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.

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.
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?
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. Awhile back a doctor I was seeing mentioned sopmething about there being a third kind of diabetes but not formerly recognized.
Anyone have any clue what I should say to people or doctors when they ask me if I have type one or type two diabetes?
My 10 yr old sister recently was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes 2 months ago. Recently she was back in the hospital with thyroid and kidney problems. My parents are not giving me full honest answers on what's going on. Is this bad news? I'm 27 and can handle the truth. Does she have a really bad case with a short life span or is this normal with juvenile diabetes?
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.
I have a sweet wonderful online friend who is a teen with Juvenile Diabetes. She's so lonely. Are there any good online forums for the homebound, especially young people, to socialize? I can't find any. Thank you!

The two biggest things you would need to learn is first about carb counting and how it affects blood sugars. Being accurate in the number of carbs eaten is very important for knowing what insulin to dose. The next is the symptoms of high blood sugars and low blood sugars.
I am interested in a man who has had Juv Diabetes for over 30 years. He manages his disease well but has had some serious health scares with vision. What is the health risk to him if he contracted HSV2 from me, should we become serious?

I am in my early 20's and I have juvenile diabetes. I have kept my diabetes under control for a number of years now, I only have a problem with lows. Diabetes is my only problem; I have not/am not yet suffering with any other problems that may be diabetes-related. Even so, being insulin dependent, what are the chances of my becoming pregnant?
