It's hard to think that children may suffer at a young age.Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus ( others call it juvenile diabetes) results when the pancreas of our body loses its ability to produce insulin which our body needs to absorb glucose (sugar) in our blood. Studies shows that the person's immune system attacks and destroy the beta cells in the pancreas that primarily produces insulin. Although, until now, no one knows why this things happen, scientist thinks it is because of the genes or the person was exposed to viruses etc, to get a type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes can't be prevented and you can't predict it when it will strike. When a person has type 1 diabetes, there is nothing he can do. It is a life time management of insulin injections to control their blood sugar levels.
Nick Jonas, a Walt Disney child star, had type 1 diabetes in 2005.
WE CAN FIGHT DIABETES. Early detection is important. If you see some symptoms like sudden weight loss, extreme thirst, irritability, frequently urinates, tires easily. Please, for the parents, don't hessitate to take your child to a doctor for a check up. remember, prevention is still better than cure.
