Question
What are the initial symptoms of pediatric diabetes?
Answer
The initial symptoms of pediatric diabetes mainly include increased urination, frequent urination, night-time thirst requiring water, skin and genital itching or recurrent urinary tract infections, increased appetite, and a sense of increased hunger. Early symptoms of pediatric diabetes, if they occur in adults, are commonly seen as polyphagia, polydipsia, and polyuria. Long-term complications can lead to eye, heart, kidney, and nervous system damage due to microvascular changes.
