Questions
My four-year-old son has been diagnosed with diabetes and has a ketone level of+++; why did he get diabetes? Does he need to inject insulin for life? How should I choose an appropriate recipe?
Answers
Diabetes is mainly divided into Type 1 and Type 2, with Type 1 accounting for 5% of cases, requiring lifelong insulin injections. The first patient with Type 1 diabetes who successfully received a transplant has been off insulin for over a year. The autologous purification hematopoietic stem cell transplantation involves processing and reinfusing the patient’s hematopoietic stem cells to reconstruct the hematopoietic and immune functions, restoring pancreatic function. Suitable candidates for transplantation are patients over two years old with a recent onset of the disease. Early detection, such as increased thirst, frequent urination, and weight loss, requires timely medical examination. If parents have a history of diabetes, they should be aware of changes in genetic susceptibility genes.
