Nowadays Diabetes is not the problem which is restricted to the adults only. It is seen that children are also diagnosed with diabetes. One in every 400-500 children in the world has diabetes so some facts are necessary to be prominent about diabetes and children in order to control that disease in an effective way.

It attacks when immune system starts to generate cells that damage the pancreatic cells caused for producing insulin in the body. The children who are suffered in this disease cannot continue their lives if they do not take insulin every day. Because of juvenile every year most of the children are at the risk for heart attack, stroke, kidney disease and immune complications.

Secondly, in type 2 diabetes, this was diagnosed in adults only historically but now it is found in children as well. This type is increasingly destroying the children’s health now it is the condition actually where the body is unable to use the insulin because of the resistance build by this disease. If the child has received that disease in his genetic history then it may be closely related to obesity. It is almost spreading in African American, Latino, Asia, and American Indian children.

It is considered that diabetes, either from the first group or second, can be controlled by putting a change in diet and check in exercise timings that is taken by the child in the whole day. Although it is not demanded to remove all their favourite eatables rather the best thing is to teach the children about the concept of food portion, its control and healthy diet.
