Identify The Roots Of Type 1 Or Juvenile Diabetes Early

Juvenile diabetes or Type 1 diabetes is common among children.
Every year, around 13,000 new cases of Juvenile diabetes are reported in
America. True to its name, it mostly attacks the children but adults as well
come into its hold.

In juvenile diabetes, shortage of supply of insulin and glucose builds up in
the bloodstream as cells are unable to use it. The body is unable to use the
entire glucose because it is available in the bloodstream only.

This increases hunger. You consume more food, but suffer from fatigue.
Frequent urination is another symptom of this type of diabetes. What happens
later is insulin producing beta cells of the pancreas are totally destroyed
by body's own immune system.
Hence the necessity arises to get the supply of insulin from the outside
sources.

Some other specific symptoms of Type I diabetes are:

In women, absence of menstruation, blurred vision, nausea and vomiting mark
the arrival of this disease. Unbearable abdominal pain, abrupt weight loss
despite normal or increased appetite, exhaustion when you walk short
distances, more exhaustion if you climb are the other common symptoms.

You can not arrive at the final conclusion with regard to the diabetes
condition with the presence of the above conditions alone. For further
confirmation, diagnostic approach is also necessary. The most desirable test
is insulin test. This test gives the firm indications/results, whether you
have the diabetes or not.

As soon as the symptoms re-confirmed, hospitalization is the initial step to
regulate the insulin level. But diabetes is not a disease that has the
guaranteed cure. Though, it can be controlled with apt care. There is also
the fear of Type I diabetes turning to Type II diabetes. You need to
understand your diabetes in proper perspective by knowing about the diabetic
related problems. Call it diabetic education. Dietary changes are inevitable
as diet is the important factor for curbing as well as increasing the
diabetes condition.

Take control of the disease; never allow it to take control of you. If you
ignore the disease at the initial stages, it may lead to several other types
of serious diseases such as high blood pressure, heart related diseases and
paralysis.
