Diabetes in children can be challenging to recognize when symptoms appear subtly over time. However, knowing the early warning signs of type 1 diabetes can improve the child's quality of life and help to prevent complications.
According to statistics from the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), there were around 95,600 children in India under the age of 14 with type 1 diabetes as of 2022. Managing diabetes early is crucial to improve the quality of life. India is home to millions of children with type 1 diabetes which leads to fatal complications such as cardiovascular, kidney, and eye problems in later life.
