Symptoms Of Juvenile Diabetes:

Learning The Signs For Type 1
To Control Early Symptoms Of Diabetes

Are you uncertain if your child is showing the symptoms of juvenile diabetes? Are you also finding it unusually difficult to find any current information on the early symptoms of diabetes in a juvenile? The problem is because juvenile diabetes is now going by the name Type 1 Diabetes in the field of medicine.

Common Signs Of Type 1 Diabetes

Because your child's body has stopped producing insulin- or it is making too little to sustain healthy glucose (sugar) levels - another means of supplementing this vital hormone must be found. Without insulin, some of the common juvenile diabetes symptoms which are recognizable will be:

  • Your child will constantly be thirsty which leads to increased urination continuously

  • Your child will continuously be wanting to eat- the body is being deprived of the necessary nutrients it normally receives from the foods eaten.

  • Extreme weakness, tiredness and muscle fatigue

  • Stunted growth, features seem gaunt and sunken

  • Unexplained continuous weight loss

  • Very moody, irritable with impaired judgment

  • Nausea and vomiting

Also, the onset of these symptoms can be quite sudden and can quickly, actually within weeks, lead to a very serious condition resulting in a loss of consciousness leading to death if medical intervention is not found.

Realize also, the stress of puberty, sickness, peer pressure, school, feelings of inadequacy and all the other common insecurities of this age group will cause your child's glucose levels to fluctuate wildly. Get him to a doctor as soon as possible, explain your fears about the symptoms of juvenile diabetes and have some simple tests and a urinalysis done as a beginning treatment program for your child's future health and safety.
