Question
What are the reasons for poor glycemic control in children with diabetes after switching insulin treatments?
Answer
A 15-year-old male diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 15 experienced elevated blood sugar levels after switching to a new type of insulin. This could be due to differences in the absorption and sensitivity of the new insulin. The doctor recommended gradually increasing the dosage of insulin to improve glycemic control. Additionally, the causes of pediatric diabetes are varied, and if a child is unfortunate enough to be diagnosed, parents should cooperate with the doctor’s treatment and pay attention to dietary management and lifestyle habits.
