Question
Why do children get diabetes?
Answer
Diabetes is not caused by excessive sugar consumption or overindulgence in sweets; it is an endocrine disorder. It is due to the abnormal secretion of insulin by the pancreas, resulting in a significant increase in insulin levels and a barrier to sugar compression, leading to elevated blood sugar levels. Pediatric diabetes is often related to genetic factors, usually with patients coming from a family history of diabetes. Typically, these children have an innate deficiency or complete deficiency in insulin secretion, leading to a barrier in the metabolism of sugar decomposition.
