Question
Admitted for treatment on January 20th of last year, the child is currently in good condition with diet and sleep. Bowel movements are smooth, urination is frequent, and weight has decreased (from 128 jin at admission to 116 jin now), possibly having developed the disease before October last year but was not given much attention. I would like to ask whether they need to use insulin for life?
Answer
Diabetes is a lifelong condition, and maintaining stable blood sugar levels is also a long-term task. It is recommended to continue using insulin to avoid the occurrence of other complications. At the same time, dietary control, appropriate exercise, and good living habits should be cooperate with to better manage the condition. If the child has been diagnosed with diabetes, parents should immediately collaborate with the doctor for treatment and pay attention to personal hygiene. The child’s diet should be balanced, and irritant and cold foods should be avoided.
