How To Detect Diabetes In Babies?
If you want to make sure that your baby doesn't have diabetes, then you need to watch out for some signs of high blood sugar that are marked in infants.
Sings Of Diabetes In Infants:
1.
Thirst:
The
baby
cannot
tell
you
that
he
or
she
is
feeling
thirsty
so
you
have
to
be
doubly
alert.
Note
the
number
of
bottles
of
water
or
fluids
your
baby
finishes
in
a
day
and
compare
notes
with
other
parents.
Ask
your
pediatrician
how
much
water
intake
is
normal
for
a
particular
age
group
of
babies
to
be
sure.
Slight
variations
are
not
alarming
but
if
the
difference
is
huge
then
you
need
further
investigation.
2.
Frequent
Urination:
It
is
difficult
to
say
how
much
urination
is
frequent
in
infants;
firstly
because
they
are
not
yet
toilet
trained
and
then
they
urinate
all
the
time
anyway.
However,
you
can
check
by
keeping
a
note
of
the
number
of
diapers
you
change
per
day.
3.
Rapid
Weight
Loss:
Again
a
very
tricky
symptom
of
diabetes
in
babies
to
be
conclusive.
Most
babies
lose
weight
when
they
learn
to
walk
or
are
weaned
away
from
breast
milk.
But
if
the
child
is
not
active
and
losing
weight
inspite
of
eating
well
then
it
could
indicate
diabetic
tendencies.
4.
Fatigue
and
Weakness:Usually
a
baby
naps
every
few
hours
but
if
the
nap
is
becoming
slumber
then
you
need
to
get
it
checked.
If
your
baby
refuses
to
play,
sleeps
for
more
hours
than
is
normal
and
shows
a
general
lack
of
immunity
and
then
you
need
to
visit
the
pediatrician
immediately.
5.
Unhealed
Wounds:
If
you
notice
that
even
minor
scratches,
cuts,
infections
take
an
unusually
long
time
to
heal
then
your
child
may
be
diabetic.
How To Deal With Diabetes In Infants?
- Diabetes in babies is most often type one diabetes. This means that their immune system has destroyed the insulin producing cells in their pancreas. That is the only plausible reason for showing signs of blood sugar so early in life.
- The only diabetic care for this condition is to take regular insulin supplements (mostly injection) and control the sugar intake.
- You also need to make arrangements for regular checks of blood sugar, almost on a monthly basis to monitor the blood sugar levels.
Use these parenting tips to detect diabetes in your baby in time so that you can save his or her future from damage.
