What is pediatric diabetes? Pediatric diabetes is a disease of endocrine metabolism caused by insufficient insulin secretion, with disorders of carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism, causing fasting and postprandial hyperglycemia and urine sugar. The clinical manifestations are polydipsia, polyuria, polyphagia and wasting. Children are prone to ketoacidosis, and later in life there is often vasculopathy leading to ocular and renal involvement. Diabetes mellitus in childhood can be seen at all ages, and is more common during the school h and adolescent developmental periods, with no gender differences. According to the different causes, diabetes in childhood can be divided into: primary diabetes and secondary diabetes, primary diabetes is divided into: insulin-dependent diabetes, also known as type I diabetes; non-insulin-dependent diabetes, also known as type II diabetes. Secondary diabetes: pancreatic disease, hormone receptor abnormalities, and reduced glucose tolerance. Insulin-dependent type of diabetes mellitus is mostly seen in children. Currently, there is an increased incidence of type II diabetes in pediatric patients with reduced insulin sensitivity and higher than normal insulin secretion levels.
