Diabetes In Children

Diabetes In Children

Please take note of this information. 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.

Diabetes in children is allmost always preventable.
Find out how you can use diet and education to give
your children and little friends a chance for better
health. Read my article on Diabetes in children.
