Question
The child was raised by grandparents and has a sweet tooth, prefers certain foods, dislikes fruits and vegetables, and rarely drinks plain water. They occasionally complain of stomach pain, and a school physical examination revealed they have pediatric diabetes. The child is afraid of needles and medication. How should it be treated?
Answer
The primary treatment for pediatric diabetes relies on insulin, which requires long-term injections. Blood sugar changes can be monitored using urine sugar testing. Since children cannot independently manage their condition, parents need to learn about diabetes treatment and health care knowledge to assist in the treatment.
