Diabetes can manifest itself very unexpectedly for absolutely everyone. It is especially scary when this happens to a child.
Be sure to pay attention to the obvious symptoms, which may indicate that the child is in danger.
Increased dry skin
Since the child develops an increased amount of water, the liquid needs a place from where it can be taken. Therefore, fluid from the intercellular space of the skin and mucous membranes enters the bloodstream, and then is excreted in the urine.
Decreased vision
Due to the increased amount of sugar in the blood, excess sugar can be deposited on the organs. However, they will not even turn into fat. Most often, these organs become: kidneys, blood vessels and the lens of the eye. In view of this, the child may feel clouding of the lens of the eye and blurred vision.Weight loss
Pay special attention to whether the child has lost weight. If this is the case, then these symptoms can often indicate early diabetes. The fact is that in the absence of a sufficient amount of glucose in our body, the nutritional value of cells decreases. And this means that body weight decreases.
Weakness
Due to insufficient glucose, the child may experience energy starvation. This means that he starts to get tired quickly. Usually such children perform worse in school, and also develop slowly in the physical aspect. The workloads at school are too difficult for them, so they often complain of fatigue.
