Question
A 10-year-old child has been diagnosed with diabetes, and their parents are inquiring about the appropriate care.
Answer
In children with diabetes, blood sugar fluctuations are greater, making them more prone to both hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia. Particular attention should be paid to the risk of hypoglycemia when blood sugar levels are close to normal. During the peak insulin effect, consider adding extra snacks. If the child shows mild hypoglycemic symptoms, immediately provide sugar water or staple food to quickly alleviate the symptoms.
