Diabetes is a very common disease now, which has a great influence on patients. The incidence of diabetes is getting wider and wider, so how long can children with this disease live? Let's have a look. 1. The symptoms of type 2 diabetes in children are basically similar to those in adults. Children often have typical symptoms of diabetes, such as thirst, polydipsia, polyuria and unexplained emaciation. How long can children with diabetes live? In symptomatic children, if the fasting blood glucose is ≥7.0mmol/L or the random blood glucose is ≥ 11.1mmol/L, it is definitely diagnosed as1type diabetes; If the child has no typical symptoms of diabetes, the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes is established, but the two tests show the same results. 2. How long can children with diabetes live? Diabetes in children is acute and can be diagnosed within 3 months. If it is not treated in time, it is very dangerous. Its fatal danger lies in ketoacidosis, not the long-term complications caused by microangiopathy. The younger the child, the higher the incidence of ketoacidosis, which is often manifested as polyuria, vomiting, abdominal pain, severe dehydration, listlessness and even coma. 3. In 1 children with type 2 diabetes, the incidence of overweight, ketonuria and diabetic ketoacidosis overlap: about13 children with type 2 diabetes showed ketosis at the onset, and nearly 25% of them were newly diagnosed with diabetic ketoacidosis, so we should check their islet autoantibodies, glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies (GAD), serum insulin and serum. 4. Obese children should be vigilant. Once diagnosed, intervention measures should be taken as soon as possible. Because some patients may return to normal after a period of treatment. This can protect them from diabetes. Foreign experts have also pointed out that the biggest problem of childhood diabetes actually lies in parents and doctors, and some symptoms such as excessive thirst and extreme fatigue are often ignored or misdiagnosed. Detection of early diabetes or other blood sugar problems can effectively intervene, thus delaying the progress of the disease.
