Currently diabetes has attacked the younger generation, including children. In fact, diabetes in children, does not immediately show symptoms.
Dr. dr. Andi Nanis Sacharina M, Sp.A (K) explained that diabetes is a chronic disease, which progresses slowly, not a disease that appears suddenly.
“There is a phase where there are no symptoms, then he shows up. So if it appears, it means he has been walking for quite a long time, about six months or a year before,” said Nanis in a press release received RepublicFriday (3/3/2023).
Therefore, parents need to know what are the symptoms of diabetes so they can get treatment immediately. Parents need to be suspicious if the child who initially never peeing, out of the blue wet the bed Again. Other symptoms are that children tend to be more lethargic, not passionate, not as usual, and less active.
Not only that, children also often feel thirsty because they urinate frequently. Children also often starve and eat, but do not gain weight.
In children at risk of type 2 diabetes, one of the characteristic signs that can be seen is the appearance of thickened and darker skin on the back of the neck, armpits and groin folds.
Usually, this is seen in children who tend to be overweight or obese. This sign is often misinterpreted as a climb. “That’s not a climb, but a sign that the child is starting to become resistant to insulin,” Dr. Nanis explained.
Finally, children who are born small are also at risk of developing diabetes. So if a child’s birth weight is less than 2,500 grams and his birth length is less than 48 centimeters. Then after birth the weight also increases too fast, so it needs to be monitored carefully.
Can’t be cured yet
Until now, no definitive therapy has been found that is truly able to restore pancreatic function, so that what is currently available is only controlling blood sugar or metabolism. For this reason, preventive action is the main thing in fighting diabetes in children.
One of the preventions that can be done by parents from an early age is immunization. So, the risk of children contracting the infection is reduced. Parents must also always monitor their child’s growth, keep their child’s weight up according to age and height, and adopt a healthy lifestyle, such as exercise and enough sleep.
If your child is diagnosed with diabetes, it’s not the end of the world. Nanis suggested, parents should not panic and catch their breath first. After calming down, listen to the doctor’s advice and find out as much information as possible about diabetes. “Frankly, it’s not easy. So just take it easy,” he said.
If a child is diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, he or she should start taking insulin injections. Adjust your diet, especially carbohydrates, adjust the insulin dose given. Need to check blood sugar four to seven times a day. Regulate physical activity.
Nanis feels that there has been a bright spot in the management of diabetes in children because doctors who are involved with pediatric endocrine diseases have also started to spread out in big cities in Indonesia. He also hopes that medicine in Indonesia will be more advanced so that diabetes drugs in the future will no longer need to be injected.
“What is less invasive is given in the form of a pump, but the price is still relatively expensive,” he said.
If your child is diagnosed with diabetes, it’s not the end of the world.
