Type 1 diabetes is a serious condition where your blood glucose (sugar) level is too high because your body cannot make a hormone called insulin.
Apart from the blood glucose test if your child is experiencing extreme hunger, shakiness and sweats that means your child has juvenile diabetes and hypoglycemia (very low blood glucose levels).
Regular high blood glucose levels can damage nerves, kidneys and eyes.
