Question
What causes juvenile diabetes?
Answer
Juvenile diabetes is primarily based on type 1 diabetes, involving the loss of islet function. The main causes are genetic factors and poor lifestyle habits, requiring a diet low in sugar and fatty foods, as well as increased physical activity. The only treatment available is insulin therapy to control blood sugar levels, which can help reduce complications. Currently, there is no cure for this condition, and long-term insulin therapy is the only option for standardized treatment.
