Question
A child has had diabetes since childhood and is currently mainly concerned about blood sugar control, but the results are inconsistent.
Answer
The blood sugar control standards for diabetic children are relatively lenient. From the perspective of preventing chronic complications, ideally, daily blood sugar monitoring should not be less than four times. For children who frequently experience hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia, dynamic blood sugar monitoring systems can be considered. While limiting calories, ensure that the proportions of protein, fat, and carbohydrates are appropriate, and provide sufficient inorganic salts and vitamins to meet the child’s basic nutritional and growth development needs. It is recommended to consume fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
