Signs of diabetes in children

If all of the above factors converge, the child develops a latent form of diabetes. The disease is asymptomatic. Only parents who themselves suffer from diabetes or doctors can notice the first signs of diabetes in a child

. The baby's appetite changes dramatically, he begins to eat constantly, and cannot last long without food. Some children, on the contrary, begin to refuse food for no reason. In addition, the child is constantly thirsty. He drinks and drinks... And then at night he can wet the bed. The baby begins to lose weight, is constantly sleepy, lethargic, and irritable. As the disease progresses, the child experiences nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. Most often, it is at this stage that inexperienced parents turn to the doctor. And it also happens that an ambulance brings a weakened child to the hospital, and the doctors have to fight for his life.

That is why it is extremely important to identify diabetes as early as possible, at a milder stage. How can parents understand that their child is developing diabetes? There are several special signs - an increased need for sweets, when cells just begin to receive less glucose and signal its lack. The child begins to tolerate breaks between meals poorly. And when he eats, instead of a surge of strength, he feels tired and weak. These signs are difficult to distinguish from children’s banal love of chocolate and the habit of constantly chewing something. But if you know that there are already diabetics in the family, you need to be vigilant and, if you suspect the development of the disease, contact an endocrinologist. The doctor will examine the child, and if it turns out that the functioning of his pancreas is indeed impaired, you will have to take measures to slow down the progression of the disease and preserve the baby’s health.

Diagnosis of diabetes mellitus in children

Modern medicine has many quick and accurate methods for diagnosing diabetes. Most often, to diagnose the disease, blood sugar levels are examined on an empty stomach and some time after taking glucose. Normal fasting glucose levels should be between 3.3 and 5.5 mmol/L. If there is more glucose in the blood than 10 mmol/l, this indicates the development of diabetes mellitus. In addition to a blood test, a urine test for sugar content, as well as a study of its specific gravity, which usually increases in diabetes, is also quite informative.

Doctors strive to diagnose the disease as early as possible. For this purpose, special tests for antibodies to beta cells are used. These cells produce insulin, and with a high titer of antibodies to them, one can assume the onset of diabetes mellitus.

Consultation for parents of the middle group of the group “The health of the child is in our hands”

The child's health is in our hands

Lay a solid foundation for your child's health in early childhood. While the branch is green and flexible, it can still be easily straightened.

Help children learn to handle dangerous objects (eg hammer, nails, scissors).

Teach children to swim. It is easier to teach in advance than to try to correct omissions later.

Even if the child is still small, teach him to use small and simple devices: switches, water tap, door handle, etc.

Always be an example for your child, using transport, elevators, and following traffic rules.

Try to follow the same daily routine on weekends and holidays as in kindergarten. Find time to walk with your child in the fresh air and do not neglect naps during the day.

Remember that watching television for a child is not only a big visual, but also a psycho-emotional load. On days when children attend kindergarten, television viewing for children should be limited to 15 minutes, and on weekends to half an hour. Longer viewing overloads the child’s nervous system and prevents him from falling asleep. The optimal viewing distance is 2.0 - 5.5 m from the screen. Children should sit not to the side, but directly in front of the screen; the lighting can be either natural or artificial. However, light should not enter the eyes, and light sources should not be reflected on the TV screen.

Remember that the health of an adult largely depends on proper nutrition in childhood. Try to make it complete and varied.

Include herbal teas, infusions, and cocktails in your home menu. The use of medicinal herbs helps to increase the body's defenses and prevent diseases.

Teach children to always follow the rules of behavior in public places, eating, and perform hygiene procedures independently. Develop your child's understanding of what he is doing and why.

Encourage children to move and take an active part in outdoor games and exercises. If possible, create a corner at home for sports activities.

Use all means of hardening the child (sun, air, water). Remember that it is not their quantity that is important, but the systematicity, consistency, and consistency in their implementation.

Be careful when purchasing toys and consider the effect they have on children’s health. The purchase of toys should not depend on the family budget, but on the pedagogical and environmental value of the toy. They must carry a cognitive load.

Give your child more attention. Make physical contact with him more often: hug him so that he feels how much you love and appreciate him.

Avoid disapproving assessments, find words of support, praise your child more often for his patience, perseverance, etc. Never emphasize his weaknesses in comparison with other children. Build his confidence in his abilities. Children who are confident learn better and think faster.

Try to reduce emotional and psychological tension in the family to a minimum, because it can act as a brake on the growth and development of the child.

Remember that health is a state of complete physical, spiritual and social well-being, and not just the absence of disease and physical defects.

MEMO FOR PARENTS: HEALTH RULES

Rule 1: No greenhouse plants! The first thing that doctors and teachers recommend to all mothers is to abandon greenhouse conditions. More fresh air, more walking barefoot or on bare feet, air baths, frequent contact with other children (on playgrounds, at guests, etc.) - all this will help the child acclimatize to the kindergarten group as painlessly as possible. And do not try to create a sterile environment at home - this will cause more harm to the child than the usual amount of bacteria around us.

Rule 2: Do you want to talk about it? Oddly enough, the mental health and peace of mind of a child has a significant impact on his immune system. Therefore, it is important that the child does not burst into tears before entering the kindergarten, but goes there consciously and with interest.

Rule 3: Trust, but verify! Despite the fact that your child looks healthy and cheerful, before going to kindergarten you need to undergo a medical examination. First of all, you yourself need this so that you don’t bite your elbows later because you didn’t recognize this or that disease in time. And secondly, this is a simple rule of human behavior in a team - if you yourself are sick, do not infect others.

Rule 4: A balanced diet is the basis of a child’s health! It's no secret that the basis of a healthy lifestyle not only for adults, but also for children is a high-quality, varied and balanced diet. So organize your child’s diet so that his daily menu includes different groups of foods rich in vitamins, minerals and microelements.

Nutritionists believe that it is best to use “native” products in the menu, i.e. raised in the area where the child was born. For example, for us, residents of the middle zone, black currants are a more useful product rich in vitamin C than southern oranges.

The human body consists of 80% water, so every person should consume at least a small amount of it per day. Unfortunately, we often forget about water, especially when it comes to children: we replace it with sweet juices, compotes and teas! Of course, this replenishes fluid reserves in the body, but the quality of these reserves leaves much to be desired.

Rule 5: If you want to be healthy, toughen up! Since Soviet times, we have all been well aware of the magical formula for absolute happiness: “if you want to be healthy, toughen up!” Indeed, statistics say that among hardened children there are many times fewer sick people. Worried about the baby's health, we put an extra pair of tights on the child instead of dousing him with a jug of cold water in the morning, and we achieve the opposite effect: we get excess heat, as a result of which the child sweats and is even more likely to catch a cold. But everything is good in moderation, so hardening also requires a systematic approach, otherwise there is a risk of achieving the opposite effect.

Rule 6: Insurance Policy for Immunity. There are many medicinal ways to support children's fragile immunity - from immunomodulators to physiotherapy. But you shouldn’t use them yourself; first you need to consult a pediatrician, or even better, an immunologist. After all, it is known that most immunomodulators, for example, when used continuously, inhibit the natural functions of the immune system.

However, there are other little tricks that do not require the intervention of doctors. One of these tricks is to rinse the child’s nasopharynx after returning from kindergarten. For washing, use a (0.85 - 1%) solution of table salt or special preparations based on sea salts, sold in pharmacies. After rinsing, you can lubricate your nose with oxolinic ointment. In addition, you should remember to wash your hands with soap after walking and before eating and, if possible, avoid places where there is a high concentration of germs.

Child mode

A child’s regime is the correct distribution in time and the correct sequence in satisfying the basic

physiological needs of the child’s body: sleep, eating, communication with the outside world.
