Treatment of diabetes in children
Diabetes in children requires the same careful observation and treatment, as in adults. In the first place, is the observance of proper diet, which prescribes a doctor. The child will have to eat more than usual, to refuse or limit the intake of unauthorized products. There is a lot of envy from their parents. If the whole family will follow the same rules, the baby will not be so hard to bear his illness.
Physical activity is as necessary a part oftreatment of diabetes mellitus in children. In the course of employment in children improves the ability to absorb sugar and keep normal blood levels. As a consequence, the dose of insulin can be decreased. However, the level of blood sugar in diabetes type I-very unstable. This is a must to know the parents to schedule a specific time and intensity of training.
From physical education at schoolchildren with diabetes free, not because they can not move and play, but because they are not able to properly assess their condition, especially in the game. Parents need to understand that. So it is necessary to deal with, but exactly calculated time and under adult supervision.
Thus it is necessary to monitor and care that protect the child from infectious diseases which may aggravate the disease. Incidentally, frequent colds can also be a symptom of diabetes.
Totreatment of diabetes mellitus in childrenExcept insulin, doctors sometimes prescribed drugs that regulate fat metabolism, if necessary.
As already mentioned, diabetes - a disease which becomes the culprit pancreas (which it produces insulin). Today, scientists have extensively studied the possibility of transplanting cells, which are responsible for the production of the hormone insulin. Work is underway on the development and implantation of an artificial body of the pancreas.
However, prior to the introduction of these treatments in practice is far from widespread. Therefore it is necessary to ensurechild diabetes patients maximum comfort and vigilant control.
And psychologists recommend to do it unobtrusively, without emphasizing the undue attention to each procedure and ban without causing the child to violations by example (eating in front of him something banned). But the child clearly knew what he was in some way special and it needs to follow the simple rules that would like to live a full life.
