Question

After receiving adequate insulin treatment, can the dosage of insulin used by pediatric diabetic patients be reduced to levels close to normal?

Answer

According to research, some children with Type 1 diabetes may enter a clinical remission period after receiving insulin treatment in the early stages of the disease. During this period, even with a very small amount of insulin, blood sugar levels can be maintained at or near normal levels. However, regular check-ups should be conducted to ensure stable conditions. Diabetes in children has diverse causes, and if a child is diagnosed with pediatric diabetes, parents should cooperate with doctors to undergo active treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression measures, and cultivate good hygiene habits. At the same time, it is important to ensure that the child’s diet is reasonable and to avoid consuming irritating or cold foods.
