Project Lead Changing Diabetes in Children (CDiC) and Executive Director of the International Pediatrics Association, World Pediatric Association Aman Bhakti Pulungan said there are several symptoms to watch out for related to childhood diabetes.
Remembering that parents usually consider some of the symptoms that appear trivial. Even consider this as part of normal child growth and development.
“So the point is for all parents to be alert. Because the symptoms of type 1 and type 2 diabetes are quite different and are usually considered trivial,” said Aman in an IDAI media briefing ahead of World Diabetes Day, Saturday (11/11).
For children who have type 1 diabetes, here are the symptoms to watch out for. Following are the symptoms:
Symptoms of Type 1 Juvenile Diabetes

“If you are at this stage of bedwetting, you have to be alert and the first thing you think about is diabetes. Type 1, yes, although in type 2 there are actually these symptoms too,” he said.
3. Weight loss drastically
