Diabetes in Children

Hayden Kerekes
What is Diabetes

● Diabetes is a chronic health condition that affects how the body turns food to energy, mainly

refer to the lack of uptake of glucose in the bloodstream due to not enough insulin

● 3 Types
○ Type 1

○ Type 2

○ Gestational
Type 1 Diabetes

● Stems from autoimmune disease destroying beta cells in the pancreas

○ Causes the inability to produce insulin
● Lead to:
○ Cardiovascular disease
○ Loss of kidney function
○ Eye issues
○ Nerve damage
○ (Lorena) (Britney)(Aban)
● Causes:
○ Autoimmune Disease (Marta)
○ Thymus disorders
○ β Cell mutations
Type 2 Diabetes

● The body does not use insulin well and can not keep blood sugar at a normal level.
● Mainly stems from lifestyle choices
● Effects:
○ Cardiovascular disease
○ Loss of kidney function
○ Eye issues
○ Nerve damage
● Causes
○ Diet
○ Sedentary Lifestyle
○ Sleep deprivation
○ Obesity

(Sosena)
Type 1 Type 2
 Why the increase?
● Type 1
○ Materal/Parental Obesity
○ Increase in maternal birth age
○ Dietary intake (Sydney)
○ Early childhood obesity (Sarah)
(Huzaifa)
● Type 2
○ Dietary intake
○ Sedentary lifestyle
○ Decrease in Sleep
○ Economic hardships
○ Socioeconomic status
Type 2 Prevention and Management

● Better Dietary Choices

● Increase Physical Activity
● Increase Sleep

(Kru)
Type 1 Prevention and Management

No known cure

Use of Insulin and insulin pump

● Possible treatments
○ Stem cell therapy
○ Immunotherapy
○ Gene Therapy
○ Pancreas Transplants

Conclusion

Diabetes is a complex diseases with lots biological and socioeconomic components involved make it
very difficult to manage among the young age groups

There has been a lot done in the way of helping to mitigate the effects it has on people but there is still
much that still needs to be done to get the rate of new diabetes cases under control
