Has your child been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes? If so, managing their blood sugar and following a healthy lifestyle are key to managing this chronic condition. We recommend checking out this guide for tips on how to manage your child's glucose levels. 👇
"Glucose will build up in the blood if it cannot be used by the cells. High blood glucose levels can damage many parts of the body, such as the eyes, kidneys, nerves and heart.
Your child's blood glucose levels may need to be checked on a regular schedule to make sure the levels do not get too high. Your child's doctor will tell you what your child's blood glucose level should be.
You and your child will need to learn how to use a glucose meter. Blood glucose levels can be quickly and easily measured using a glucose meter. First, a lancet is used to prick the skin; then a drop of blood from your child's finger is placed on a test strip that is inserted into the meter."
