A. I'm sorry to hear about your son's diagnosis. Type 1 diabetes is a chronic condition where the body doesn't produce insulin, a hormone needed to regulate blood sugar levels. Managing type 1 diabetes involves closely monitoring blood glucose levels, administering insulin injections or using an insulin pump, maintaining a balanced diet, and staying active. It's important to work with a healthcare team, including an endocrinologist, to create an individualized care plan. The plan typically includes insulin management, dietary changes, regular physical activity, and learning how to handle blood sugar fluctuations. You should also regularly monitor for symptoms like frequent urination, excessive thirst, and fatigue, as these can indicate changes in blood sugar levels. A supportive environment at home and school is crucial. Educating family members, caregivers, and teachers about the condition can help them offer better support. Be patient with the learning process, as adjusting to this new routine may take time, but with consistent care, children with type 1 diabetes can live a healthy life.
