There are two types of diabetes: juvenile (or type 1 diabetes mellitus) and in adults, obese and pregnant (type 2).

The following symptoms are typical of children and adolescents: pee more often than normal (polyuria) for having increased their urine output, this occurs both day and night, are very thirsty and drink too much water (polydipsia), lose weight even if they have more appetite (polofagia).

At these demonstrations, the pediatrician will order a blood glucose analysis to determine the amount of sugar in the blood. When diabetes, this amount is usually increased and exceeds values of 140 mg / dl, fasting with the child. This is important because, after taking any food, the results can be altered.

Increases blood glucose because the pancreas does not produce insulin, a hormone essential for life. This substance allows the carbohydrates consumed in the diet are deposited as glycogen (the form in which sugars are deposited in our bodies) or used as energy. He also favors the deposition of fat and protein, so when missing or diminished, the patient thinned as it consumes body fat and proteins that serve to support the body.
