what happens to kids with diabetes on a daily basis?

Question: what symptoms do they have and what do they have to deal with everyday???????? and what will happen to them if their blood sugar got too high or too low????????

Answers:
Kids who live with diabetes are awesome! Like other kids, they put up with annoying things like homework and chores. They also have to eat differently than most of their friends do. They have to prick their finger to get a drop of blood out several times each day to check the sugar level of their blood. They need to get shots every day to keep their sugar at the right level. If it's gets too low they feel dizzy, tired and sweaty. If it gets lower than that then they can die. If it gets too high they start to have aches and pains, get nauseated. They can even go into a coma and die. Imagine having to live with that, but still be a kid. Kids with diabetes are awesome!

light head, headache, blurry vision, weakness. Make sure the child takes its medication, and watches what he eats, not too much fat, no starchy foods, lots of fruits and vegetables, chicken and fish (lean), plenty of water and exercise.
