Diabetes is more common in adults.That is why children are not free from this disease.Different types of diabetes in children are called type-1 diabetes.

Diabetes in children is caused by a lack of the hormone insulin.Insulin uses blood glucose to provide energy and control glucose.Lack of it increases blood glucose a lot.The body is then forced to store the necessary energy from meat and fat in alternative ways.This results in abnormal accumulation of toxins (ketone bodies) in the blood.The amount of urine increases, the throat and chest of the infected child becomes dry, the child starts drinking water repeatedly.Weight loss will be followed by fatigue and constant tiredness.  If left untreated with insulin, the baby may die.
