Question
My son has recently developed a sweet tooth and becomes upset if I don’t let him eat sugar and sweets. I took him for a blood test, and the report shows that the pediatric diabetes test results are normal. What could be the reason?
Answer
Diabetes is showing a trend of early onset, and irregular lifestyle and dietary habits may lead to diabetes in children. Normal test results could indicate either type 1 or type 2 diabetes. If it’s the former, it might be due to a congenital insulin secretion disorder. It’s recommended to make adjustments to lifestyle and dietary habits.
