Management Of Juvenile Diabetes
Journal Title: Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research - Year 2010, Vol 2, Issue 12
Abstract
Type 1 Diabetes is called Juvenile Diabetes as the onset of it begins in childhood. Children diagnosed with juvenile diabetes are insulin dependent. Current research indicates that juvenile diabetes is an autoimmune disorder. Aim was to assess management, treatment and control of type 1 diabetes in children. This was a retrospective study. A total of 40 patients with type 1 diabetes were observed in the out patient department of The Children’s Hospital Lahore between the period of 28 June 2010 to 21 July 2010. Out of 40 patients, 43% taking combination therapy of humulin N and humulin R , 47% showed poor dietary compliance, 39% used to face hypoglycemic attacks between 1-3 per month, 40% showed poor control on diabetes on the basis of Hb1C test. Color of urine of majority of patients (50%) became yellow after performing Benedict ’s test which showed that most of patients coming to children hospital had high amount of ketones in urine. The daily intake of food should also be monitored. The primary goal of any dietary plan for diabetes is to maintain levels of glucose in the blood. The way of injecting insulin was not as proper as should be and thus the use of insulin injection was ineffective as treatment. Right now, there's no cure for diabetes, so kids with type 1 diabetes will need treatment for the rest of their lives. But with proper care, they can look and feel healthy
