Can juvenile diabetes kill and what are the symptoms?

I really need to know

If not diagnosed in time, or mismanaged, yes. It can also cause damage to organ systems over a period of time, even if properly controlled (although the risks are less with good control). Today's technology for treating Type 1 diabetes has improved, but it's still not perfect. It's still a very complicated and hard disease to live with.

Common Symptoms:

-Increased thirst
-Increased urination
-Weight loss
-Fatigue
-Increased Hunger
-Irritabiltity
-Abdominal Pain
-Blurry vision/headaches
-Some kids complain of cramping and pain in their legs, which is due to an electrolyte imbalance due to dehydration and hyperglycemia. An electrolyte imbalnce can be life-threatening.
-Rapid heartbeat, shallow breaths, acetone (nail polish) smell on breath.
-Coma (leading to death)

If you suspect diabetes, take your child to the doctor or ER immediately. With proper treatment right away, the child should be fine. Delay, and if it is diabetes, they may become very ill and go into a potentially deadly coma.

Be safe and not sorry if you are concerned.

untreated can be risky

Diabetes mellitus (IPA pronunciation: [藢da瑟蓹藞bit蓹s]). is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) and other signs, as distinct from a single disease or condition. The World Health Organization recognizes three main forms of diabetes: type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes (occurring during pregnancy),[1] which have similar signs, symptoms, and consequences, but different causes and population distributions. Type 1 is usually due to autoimmune destruction of the pancreatic beta cells which produce insulin. Type 2 is characterized by tissue-wide insulin resistance and varies widely; it sometimes progresses to loss of beta cell function. Gestational diabetes is similar to type 2 diabetes, in that it involves insulin resistance; the hormones of pregnancy cause insulin resistance in those women genetically predisposed to developing this condition.

Types 1 and 2 are incurable chronic conditions, but have been treatable since insulin became medically available in 1921, and are nowadays usually managed with a combination of dietary treatment, tablets and, frequently, insulin supplementation. Gestational diabetes typically resolves with delivery.

Diabetes can cause many complications. Acute complications (hypoglycemia, ketoacidosis or nonketotic hyperosmolar coma) may occur if the disease is not adequately controlled. Serious long-term complications include cardiovascular disease (doubled risk), chronic renal failure (diabetic nephropathy is the main cause of dialysis in developed world adults), retinal damage (which can lead to blindness and is the most significant cause of adult blindness in the non-elderly in the developed world), nerve damage (of several kinds), and microvascular damage, which may cause erectile dysfunction (impotence) and poor healing. Poor healing of wounds, particularly of the feet, can lead to gangrene which can require amputation 鈥?the leading cause of non-traumatic amputation in adults in the developed world. Adequate treatment of diabetes, as well as increased emphasis on blood pressure control and lifestyle factors (such as smoking and keeping a healthy body weight), may improve the risk profile of most aforementioned complications.

all diabetes can kill.

Better safe than sorry!

Diabetes is a disease. Diseases are typically things that will kill if left untreated. If you think that you have diabetes and especially juvenile diabetes, then you need to go to your doctor. With juvenile diabetes, your body does not produce any insulin at all. Your pancreas is not able to produce your body with the insulin that it needs to help fight the glucose in your bloodstream and this is why you have to be on insulin instead of oral diabetes medications. You might want to check out American Diabetes Website and go under juvenile diabetes and research this further. If you are worried, go to your doctor and have some labortory test so you can get help if this is the cause of your problems.
