Diagnosis of type 1 diabetes for a child is not only about injections and food, but also about self-perception. When I was diagnosed with diabetes as a child, I withdrew, became afraid to eat outside the home, and was embarrassed by the device on my body. My parents looked for ways to support me not only physically but also psychologically and found a solution. So you should read about type 1 diabetes in children. Here is useful information that will expand your knowledge of this disease and help your loved one.
