At Sahyadri Hospitals, we treat various types of diabetes with the aid of expert Diabetologists and other consultants. Check out some of them complied here.

• Juvenile Diabetes

Type 1 diabetes that occurs in children is actually an autoimmune disorder. It was formerly termed as juvenile diabetes as most of the patients were young kids. In this type of diabetes, the pancreas makes no or very little insulin. Though the exact cause is still unknown, it is discovered in most cases that the immune system of the body attacks the islet cells. 

The symptoms of juvenile diabetes are –

1. Extreme hunger
2. Fatigue
3. Excessive urination
4. Possibility of wetting the bed
5. Weight loss unexpectedly
6. Changes in behavior

Moreover, there are various risk factors that can further trigger the development of this medical condition. Family history, exposure to different viruses, genes, etc., play a vital role. 

It is vital to remember that type 1 diabetes has the ability to affect the functioning of some of the significant organs in the body. For instance, it can increase the chances of attaining high blood pressure, stroke, nerve damage, etc.

Type 2 diabetes was previously termed as “adult-onset diabetes” because it was prevalent among adults. However, nowadays, it can also be seen in children. 

In this type of diabetes, excessive levels of sugar remain the bloodstream. It ultimately leads to issues with the nervous, immune, and circulatory systems.

Here, there are two particular problems that are at work. Firstly, the pancreas fails to produce the required insulation, and secondly, the cells in the body take less sugar.
