Questions
A child was found to have elevated blood sugar levels during a hospital blood test, but showed no typical symptoms of diabetes. The child inquired about the cause and whether further checks were needed.
Answers
Experts suggest re-measuring blood sugar levels and may require tests such as fasting and post-meal blood sugar, glycated hemoglobin, etc., to determine if diabetes is present. The causes of childhood diabetes are diverse. If diagnosed, immediate treatment and relevant measures, such as proper diet and good hygiene habits, should be implemented.
