Insulin Therapy in Children

Insulin therapy is a treatment for children with diabetes, a condition where the body can't properly use sugar for energy. Insulin is a hormone that helps control blood sugar levels. Children with type 1 diabetes often need insulin injections or use an insulin pump to manage their condition. The goal of insulin therapy is to maintain stable blood sugar levels, preventing both high (hyperglycemia) and low (hypoglycemia) sugar readings. Managing insulin requires careful monitoring of food intake, activity levels, and blood sugar levels, ensuring the child's health and well-being.
