  Sleep hygiene When we were young, our parents were very conscious about our sleep. They never let us stay up at night to do anything, including studying, they used to say – “There is no alternative to healthy sleep - to lead a healthy life . If we do not sleep properly, our head will not be well, which means the brain will not function properly. If the brain does not function properly, it means that the day is wasted”.  God has also designated night for rest and day for work.  But unfortunately, in the present era of extreme modernity, people have turned day into night – and night into day, we see every where!!   Desire is - I went to sleep, again - spent a few days without sleeping. Or having to take sleeping pills because you can't sleep, going to bed late, so getting up late the next day - none of this is healthy. It is not right to become dependent on sleeping pills because you are not sleeping. Said the expert - There is no substitute for adequate sleep t...

Children also get diabetes


Children also get diabetes


When I was first diagnosed with diabetes, I thought, "I'm the last one", the silent killer has come to devour me, the burden of age has appeared on my body"!!

But the doctor said - diabetes only happens due to age - this is not right, children also get diabetes.

I was surprised and kept asking the doctor various questions, in response the doctor explained to me -

We think that diabetes is an adult disease, because it is seen more in adults. In fact, children are not exempt from this disease either. Diabetes in children is of a different type, it is called type-1 diabetes. Diabetes in children is rather more painful and problematic, the pain is not only for the child but also for the whole family.

But as the saying goes, a child has the right to a healthy life, so everyone should maintain patience and mental strength.

Experts say - Medical science says that diabetes in children is caused by a lack of insulin hormone.

Some cells do not function properly, so insulin is not produced in the child's body, so food cannot be converted into energy.

Insulin uses blood glucose to provide energy and keeps glucose under control. If it is lacking, glucose in the blood increases significantly. The body is then forced to store the necessary energy from proteins and fats in an alternative way.

As a result, toxic substances (ketone bodies) accumulate abnormally in the blood. The amount of urine increases, the throat and chest of the affected child become dry, the child starts drinking water repeatedly. Weight starts to decrease, when excess toxic ketone bodies accumulate in the blood, they suddenly become unconscious, and breathing difficulties begin. If not treated quickly with insulin, the child may even die.

We usually do not even think about blood glucose testing in children, so it is often not detected on time.

Due to a little lack of awareness, the possibility of a child's life being endangered comes to the fore. Therefore, there is no alternative to awareness for a healthy life.

According to the advice received from the doctor, the symptoms of diabetes in children include ---

a.      Gradually getting dry.

b.     Urinating more and more. He has started wetting the bed again.

c.      Drinking more and more water, even waking up at night and asking for water.

d.     Not feeling as energetic as before, getting tired easily.

e.      Frequent infections of various kinds, not recovering easily.

If diabetes occurs, what to do -

a.      Blood glucose should be controlled by regular insulin injections as per the doctor's advice. In the initial stage, frequent doctor's advice may be required to bring glucose under control. Do not get upset and add danger to danger. There is no alternative to patience.

b.     Sweets, sugar and sweet foods should be excluded from the child's daily diet. The amount of other foods should be moderate. Everyone in the family should avoid eating sweet foods in front of the child.

c.      Sports. Cleanliness, running and jumping should be brought in all kinds of lifestyles.

d.     Extra caution should be taken while walking so that the child does not get injured or cut. Care should be taken in taking care of feet and teeth, and cutting nails.

e.      Diabetic children should be given equal opportunities like healthy children in any kind of sports or activities, so that they do not suffer discrimination or feel pain.

f.       The health of the eyes and kidneys should be checked at regular intervals.

g.     If there is any infection or fever in the body, one should seek medical advice without delay.

# Type-1 diabetes treatment is an ongoing process. It is a lifelong disease and hence, its treatment and precautions need to be continued patiently. A good team, pediatrician, dietician and Diabetic specialist are needed to help this child.

According to the research of experts, the cause of type -1 diabetes is not yet confirmed, but for now it is assumed that -

a.      Heredity - If both parents have type-1 diabetes, then their child is likely to have it.

b.     Virus - Viruses like German measles, Coxsackie and mumps can cause type-1 diabetes. These viruses attack the body's immune system and cause the body to fight against itself, creating an autoimmune problem.

c.      Geographic location - The environment we live in affects our body. People living in warm countries have a lower risk of developing type 1 diabetes, as the chances of viral infection are low. People living in cold countries have a higher risk of viral infection.

d.     Other autoimmune diseases - Some autoimmune diseases have a higher risk of developing type 1 diabetes, because these diseases have the same gene marker HLA that is affected.

e.      Genetic predisposition - If the child has the gene marker associated with type 1 diabetes, then he is likely to develop type 1 diabetes.

There is no substitute for awareness - if you want to lead a healthy life.
