Juvenile diabetes

Juvenile diabetes is the former name for type 1 diabetes mellitus. There is no preventative measure people can take against type 1 diabetes, or juvenile diabetes. Juvenile diabetes happens when the beta cells in the pancreas no longer synthesize insulin. Diet and exercise has no affect on juvenile diabetes, and often times, people who suffer from juvenile diabetes appear fit and healthy in all other respects. The principle treatment for juvenile diabetes from the very beginning is to replace insulin. Insulin must be injected either through syringes, insulin pumps, or in some cases, inhaled. Juvenile diabetes must be treated continuously and indefinitely. Since the pancreas simply does not synthesize, there is not a cure for juvenile diabetes, only continued treatment.

Juvenile diabetes can manifest with several common symptoms. Frequent urination is the most common symptom. People who suffer from juvenile diabetes often sweet tasting and smelling urine do to more sugar being present in the urine and blood stream. Another common symptom for juvenile diabetes is an increased thirst, increased appetite with profound hunger, and weight loss. People who exhibit the common symptoms for juvenile diabetes and who are also at risk due to genetic and ethnic backgrounds should have themselves tested for juvenile diabetes as soon as possible.
