TYPE 1 DIABETES

Let’s share Knowledge

Nearly 100,000 children in India are affected by Type 1 Diabetes. Many more develop it every year. Insulin is a life saving drug for people with T1 diabetes ( Thanks to Dr Banting and Dr Best who discovered insulin)To have a healthy , normal life, these children need to check their blood sugars 3-4 times everyday and take Insulin injections 3-4 times a day, every single day of the rest of their lives. If they are given proper guidance and are allowed to treat themselves without being stigmatised, they can live as complete, healthy and happy life as any other child.

EDUCATION of self, of children and parents, of nursing professionals, of physician colleagues, of dieticians, of school teachers, and of all those people who play a role in the daily lives of a child with Type 1 Diabetes is the single most important factor that decides how well the child’s diabetes is controlled and conquered.

CORRECT THE MISCONCEPTIONS
  • Diabetes in children is not the same as diabetes in adults.
  • Nobody deserves to get T1 diabetes – it just happens.
  • These children need support from family, friends, teachers and other care providers.
  • Children with T1 diabetes can play sports, sing, dance just like any other child.
  • These children do a lot to keep themselves well. The least we can do as a society is to “support them” where and when we can.
