Diabetes in children is most likely to be Type I Diabetes, or insulin-dependent diabetes. The pancreas doesn�t produce enough natural insulin, and so the insulin must be injected. The signs of diabetes in children are tiredness and excessive thirst, weight loss even as the child is always hungry, and an increased susceptibility to infections. The child and her parents must learn about this disease and how to monitor blood sugar levels at home. The child must also be taught to give herself insulin injections. Since there's no cure for diabetes, she will have to do this for the rest of her life. The pediatrician will also prescribe a special diet for a child with Type I diabetes.
