Diabetes In Children

Diabetes In Children

Untreated diabetes can have dire consequences. Because
children are not routinely screened for type 2 diabetes,
by the time they are diagnosed they may have high blood
pressure or severe hyperglycemia, or elevated blood-sugar
levels. Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorder resulting
from the body's inability to make sufficient insulin, or
properly utilize the insulin it makes. Left untreated,
diabetes can lead to blindness, leg amputations, kidney
disease, heart attack and stroke.

That children would be this far down the path in being
Diabetic is appalling! Where have they got to go but down
hill – possibly for a number of years if not caught! Let's
take a different route with our children.

Please read the rest of the article - I have outlined
suggestions for Diabetes in children in an
article that is good for any one who has diabetes.
