Diabetes is no longer a disease for adults, it is developing among juveniles as well. Juvenile diabetes is one of the most common lifestyle diseases upsetting youth. The time you realise that your child has diabetes, you scrutinise their eating habits in order to retain a healthy blood sugar level. A high-calorie diet will make your kid prone to diabetes and our ever-changing lifestyle is turning out to be a reason of concern. Parents need to look into the entire facade in order to develop a healthy future.

Juvenile diabetes is also referred as type 1 diabetes as the patient is dependent on insulin from other sources because of the incapability of the pancreas to discharge any amount of insulin inside the body. Insulin plays a crucial part in the transformation of food starch into glucose and along with the supply of glucose to the body cells. As the body is incapable of developing the hormone, it strives with the huge levels of glucose in the blood and urine. A study states that India is the home-ground of nearly 33 million people suffering from diabetes and it has marked a prime position in diabetes around the globe.
