Gone are the days when only a particular age of people was suffering from diabetes. Today even children and surprisingly even infants are identified with high blood sugar disease. Several research studies indicate that at least seventeen in every hundred thousand children are suffering from diabetes.
Diabetes is actually categorized into two types, the “Type-1 Diabetes” and the “Type-2 Diabetes”. Type-1 diabetes is said to develop when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin that is required to break the glucose, which is present in blood. The prime cause of development of ‘type-2 diabetes’ has been found is the insulin produced by the pancreas that does not have the power of resistance, or in other words is not effective.
Common Causes of Diabetes among Children
Children are affected by both ‘type-1 diabetes’ as well as ‘type 2 diabetes’. Earlier, majority of the children were suffering from the type-1 diabetes, however, currently children with suffering from type-2 diabetes are on rise.
