Nowadays, the number of children suffering from diabetes is increasing may be due to the changing lifestyles and other environmental and genetic factors.
Now, let us discuss a few facts about the types of diabetes and their symptoms in children.
Type I Diabetes
Some children suffer from type 1 diabetes. This condition occurs due to the damage caused in certain types of cells in the pancreas. The kid's body fails to produce insulin. This makes it tough for the body to convert the consumed carbs into energy. Also, sugar levels in the body spike up as insulin also has a role in the appropriate storage of sugar.

Type 2 Diabetes
In kids who suffer from type 2 diabetes, blood sugar levels tend to be high as the body tends to become resistant to insulin. This condition could also cause kidney issues, heart issues and even blindness if it is not handled on time.
Pre-diabetes
This is a condition in which a kid suffers high blood sugar levels but not as high as a diabetic. In fact when the condition is controlled, diabetes can be delayed.

Symptoms
