Diabetes in children – signs and symptoms plus causes are major hurdle to jump. It goes without saying children are more vulnerable and likely to be extinguished by diabetes, if not diagnosed and attended to early enough. The lower the age, the higher the risk coupled with low developing immune system, to weather any opportunistic infections. The sad fact about diabetic children is that the disease remains and grows with them developing complications early that are associated with the disease like retinopathy, kidney failure etc.
