Juvenile diabetes, also known as type 1 diabetes, occurs when the pancreas fails to produce insulin, leading to elevated blood sugar levels. Without insulin, the body’s cells cannot utilize sugar for energy, resulting in its wastage and elimination from the body.
Symptoms of juvenile diabetes include frequent urination, excessive thirst, increased hunger, and unintentional weight loss.
To manage juvenile diabetes, it’s important to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and maintain a balanced diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables while avoiding excessive carbohydrates and oily foods. Including foods containing omega-3 fatty acids can also be beneficial.
Additionally, regular exercise and timely medication are essential components of managing juvenile diabetes to prevent further complications.
