Hello, folks. My friends’ kid was diagnosed diabetes last week. I am really sorry since I know the kid and he is more than superb. I would like to know how diagnosis is set in children. Are there any differences comparing to adults? I would really be grateful for all your replies.
Hi, there. I think that diagnosing diabetes with children does not vary much comparing to adults. World Health Organization has made some criteria. Random blood glucose should be more than 11 mmol/L. Polyuria and polydipsia are also present. Weight loss is also another data. Remember that we are talking about type 1 diabetes. I hope this helps. I am sorry I don’t know more details. Bye!
