A Research Study On Juvenile Diabetes

Found in young girls, yeast infections may frequently occur as a result of juvenile diabetes. Irritability can also take place in a child experiencing type juvenile diabetes (Couch 2008).

Type 1 diabetes is a chronic illness characterized by the body’s inability to produce insulin. Onset most often occurs in childhood, but the disease can also develop in adults in their late 30s and early 40s. The classic symptom of type 1 diabetes is: The need to urinate frequently, excessive drinking as a result of thirst, excessive hunger and abnormally large intake of solids by mouth. Unexplained weight loss, Other symptoms may include fatigue, nausea, and blurred vision. The onset of symptomatic disease may be sudden and is a classic sign of diabetes mellitus that is under poor control or not under treatment

Over the last three decades there has been a steady increase in childhood and adolescent type II diabetes. One of the issues for the cause of the increase in this form of diabetes is obesity. Obesity is not always a factor for type II diabetes, but it is one the children and adolescents. A reason that this is also a problem is there is not enough research or data for treatments or way to help prevent type II diabetes in this young age range. When studies are done it is mainly on children in of the same backgrounds and ethnicities. Researches and physicians both agree that more information is need to educate and treat the young population. While more information is useful, it would be helpful to start early education, before diabetes has a chance to start in childhood. Exercise and nutrition programs can be started to help parents and children be aware of all the possible dangers that diabetes can cause to the body. These programs can also show the other diseases that can develop form having this avoidable and curable disease.

Type 1 diabetes, previously called juvenile diabetes, is an incurable condition that is normally diagnosed in children and young adults. Type one diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease with an unknown cause. Symptoms can be subtle and if gone undiagnosed and untreated, T1D can be fatal. The treatment of T1D requires daily injections of insulin to break down excess sugar in the blood. Treatment costs of diabetes are high and the complications associated with T1D only increases those costs. Historically people with a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes (T1D) did not have long life expectancy. Today with advancements in treatment, commitment to managing insulin levels and living a healthy life style, T1D patients can lead a long an full life.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been reported with increased frequency over the last twenty years in adolescents and children in the United States. As a result of T2DM glucose metabolism within the body of affected adolescents and children is severely compromised. Formerly known as adult onset and/or insulin resistant diabetes T2DM occurs due to the cell inability to properly use insulin which then results in lowered secretion of insulin as well as insulin resistance. Proactive steps if taken during pre-diabetic stages in the form of increased activity, dietary changes, weight reduction, and use of medicinal intervention in order to increase sensitivity to insulin and decrease production of glucose helps

Diabetes is a disease that can be devastating to some families, but it is not that bad as it seems. With the correct amount of exercise and moderation, it can be maintained with several different methods. A large part of the United States population has a form of diabetes. Today, there are many treatments that improve the lives of those living with this disease. With the correct understanding, it can be manageable and change the lives of the diabetic and his/her family. Some people may think of this as a bad thing for children to have but with the proper management and exercise, it can be maintained as well as bring a family closer to one another. As a brother of a type 1 diabetic, I know how hard it is to live with it and how to

Being diagnosed with type one diabetes it creates multiple situations that requires the patient to take responsibility to help control their disease. While also the diagnoses can restrict the opportunities for the patient. According to the American Diabetes Association, “In 2012, 29.1 million Americans, or 9.3% of the population, had diabetes. Approximately 1.25 million American children and adults have type 1 diabetes” (ADA. Par.1). Thus being diagnosed by type one

Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects millions of Americans. There are only two types of it. Type one is the most serious type. It is caused by the body's inability to produce enough insulin. Type two is developed when the body can't efficiently use the insulin that is available to absorb sugar into the cells. So the sugar builds up in the body. Usually, type two diabetes is more common in adults, but there has been a sudden increase in the amount of children that are developing it. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) isn't sure why it is happening though. This article will discuss a few of the key areas that research has pinpointed as contributors to the problem.

How adolescents manage type I diabetes is a rather interesting topic to me. This topic interests me because I have a friend who has type I diabetes and because I learned some things about this disease in my class, Nutrition Science, and I wanted to learn more about it. I wanted to do some more research, particularly looking at children with Type I Diabetes. Some information that I do already know about Type I Diabetes is that people, who have this unfortunate disease, need to take insulin shots. Without these insulin shots, one may go into a diabetic shock, and can even die. Most people with this type of diabetes are

At the age of 9 I was diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus Type 1, also known as juvenile diabetes. This experience has been somewhat of a blessing. It allows me to encourage others to be proud of their differences. My goal is to ensure that everyone is aware of the people constantly around them and their surroundings. I believe that I will bring the courage for others to stand out and make their situations noticed by others, and not put to the side like they are nothing. Also, I plan to bring a support system for those in need. I try not to let my disability hold me back, my goal is to show others that they don't have to be held back by anyone or other factors.

The information throughout the report was easy to follow and appeared transparent. The layout does demonstrate the way in which the researcher intends to go about the study – the advantage of this being the results and data analysis are streamlined and easy to comprehend and analyze. Descriptions of the methods, findings, and interpretations were sufficiently rich and vivid and helps to enhance the validity of the data. The direct quotations transcribed from recordings of study participants ensures an insightful view into what it is like to be a child with type 1 diabetes mellitus. After reading the article, one can tell the researcher is a credible source. The choice of methods, data analysis, and general layout of the article reveals an experienced researcher. The findings appear trustworthy. The method of data collection from interviews seems mostly reliable if the recordings of the subjects are made available. The evidence gathered can definitely be applied by health care providers in assisting the children with their feelings, emotions, and stressors associated with type 1 diabetes mellitus, and how to provide excellent care to their young

By the end of the 20th century the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) in children had increased dramatically. Type II diabetes was once believed to be a disease of the overweight, middle age person however, the incidence of type 2 diabetes is increasing quickly in children and adolescents not only in the United States but around the world.

“This little piggy went to the market, this little piggy stayed home, this little piggy had roast beef, this little piggy had none, this little piggy went wee wee wee all the way home.” Many children across the United States grow up only having to worry about how hard their little toes might get pulled during this nursery rhyme. When another 18 million children in the United States grow up having to learn about their autoimmune disease called Type 1 Diabetes (Marcothy). Type 1 Diabetes is formerly called Juvenile Diabetes and is usually diagnosed in children and young adults. Those with Type 1 are insulin-dependent and must have it to survive. This is caused because the pancreas no longer produces insulin, a hormone that

This case study focuses on a 15 year old female patient who for the purpose of this paper will be called Layla.

Sporting events, church activities, chores, playing and homework take up most of a child’s waking hours. The monitoring and treatment of this disease affects everything the child does and in turn affects the entire family. Keeping the insulin levels within normal limits requires diligent monitoring of blood glucose levels and managing the child’s diet is extremely important. When blood glucose levels fall out of the normal range the main treatment for Type 1 Diabetes requires insulin therapy. The Insulin therapy is needed to replace or supplement what insulin the body can’t provide. Some factors that affect blood glucose levels are: insulin, food, activity, exercise, and stress ( Daneman, Frank & Perlman,1999). Because of the difficulties that families with child diabetes face it is hard for the families not to revolve everything they do around the child. Although there is no easy answer to this problem HK Akerblom explains it well,“ Insulin therapy should be fitted into the daily schedule and way of life of the child and the family, rather than the child and family living their lives according to a strict timetable determined by the insulin therapy”(1998).
