Pediatric Insulin Therapy

Pediatric insulin therapy involves administering insulin to children with diabetes to help control their blood sugar levels. Insulin is a hormone that regulates how the body uses sugar for energy. In children with type 1 diabetes, the body doesn’t produce insulin, so they need to receive it through injections or an insulin pump. The therapy is tailored to each child’s age, weight, and lifestyle, aiming to maintain stable blood sugar levels to prevent complications. Regular monitoring and adjustments are essential for effective management and overall health. Collaboration with healthcare providers is key for successful treatment.
