Juvenile diabetes

**Adolescent diabetes** or **juvenile diabetes** is a chronic endocrine disease that is characterized by high levels of glucose in the blood due to a lack of insulin production by the body. This type of diabetes develops in children and adolescents and is associated with various reasons, such as genetic predisposition, infection, stress, metabolic disorders and other factors.

Juvenile diabetes is one of the types of juvenile diabetes mellitus type I. It is characterized by the following symptoms: during adolescence, the child’s blood sugar level sharply increases, which is accompanied by an increased feeling of hunger and frequent urination. Vision also deteriorates. The cause of this disease is a disruption in the functioning of the pancreas and the development of its autoimmune insufficiency. As a result, the organ cannot cope with the production of insulin, despite the reduced concentration of glucose in the blood. In diabetes mellitus, the body experiences a deficiency in the function of the pancreatic hormone that produces energy. Therefore, diabetics need to replace its synthetic analogues. Oral medications are used to control the disease and keep patients alive.
