Q. How is Type 1 diabetes diagnosed and managed in children?
In children type 1 diabetes is first diagnosed through blood testing which allows the specialists to analyze the glucose levels as well as regulate their blood sugar. Through this, the doctors also can make the parents understand the use of insulin therapy and diet requirements during their child's development.
Q. What treatment options are available for children with thyroid disorders like hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism?
Hypothyroidism is treated with synthetic thyroid hormone replacement, while hyperthyroidism is often managed with medications to block thyroid hormone production, and in some cases, radioactive iodine or surgery may be recommended.
