Symptoms of type 1 diabetes in children

The most common symptoms of type 1 diabetes in children are:

Toilet - Going to the toilet a lot to pass urine, bed wetting by a previously dry child or heavier nappies in babies. Getting up in the night to go to the toilet.

Thirsty - Being really thirsty and not being able to quench the thirst. Your child may ask for a drink more often, finish drinks very quickly or you may notice they generally drink more.

Tired - Feeling more tired than usual. Having less energy than normal, not playing as often, less energy for sports

Thinner - Losing weight or looking thinner than usual.

You may also notice your child getting more infections than usual.

The symptoms of type 1 diabetes tend to come on within a matter of days or weeks and you should get urgent medical help if you notice any of these symptoms.

The most common type of diabetes in children is type 1 diabetes. But children can also develop type 2 diabetes or another type of diabetes.

Symptoms of type 2 diabetes in children

The symptoms of type 2 diabetes in children are the same as they are for type 1 diabetes, but they may be less obvious and develop more slowly, for example over weeks or months.

But you may still notice some of the symptoms listed above.

Symptoms of diabetes in children are the same as they are for adults but they may present differently such as a child not wanting to play games as often due to having less energy. Find out what other symptoms your child may display if they have diabetes.

Research has shown that there are several risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes. These include ethnicity, genetics, and lifestyle. In some cases type 2 diabetes can be prevented, unlike type 1 diabetes.

What to do if you think your child has diabetes

If your child has any of the above signs or symptoms of diabetes, you should take them straight to the doctor and insist on a blood glucose test. If a quick and simple finger prick test indicates high blood sugar, your GP will refer your child to a specialist diabetes team or hospital and the test will be sent to the lab to diagnose diabetes.

If symptoms of diabetes in children are missed

Too many children and young people are not diagnosed with type 1 diabetes until they are in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) a life-threatening condition that requires urgent medical attention.

If a child has type 2 diabetes and it isn't diagnosed for a long time or they also become unwell with an infection, they may be at risk of something called hyperosmolar hyperglycaemic state (HHS) or DKA. And high blood sugar can start to damage parts of their body. If your child is diagnosed with diabetes, we're here to support you. We have lots of information and if you have any questions, you can speak to one of our trained advisors on our helpline.

Under equality laws across the UK, every school has to make reasonable adjustments to help any child who might have a disability, which includes type 1 diabetes, from not getting the grades they deserve because of it.

Although parents and children might not consider diabetes as a disability, they are still covered under these equality laws. In England, Scotland and Wales these laws come under the Equality Act 2010 and in Northern Ireland they come under the Disability Discrimination Act 1995.

If your child has left school, we also have information on university and further education exams.

Who is responsible for agreeing reasonable adjustments?

The responsibility for agreeing reasonable adjustments depends on the adjustment required for the exam that a child is taking.

Some adjustments, such as allowing access to food and drink during an exam, can be authorised by the school. But some will need to be agreed by the relevant awarding body, usually several months before sitting the exam. Access to diabetes tech typically needs to be discussed and agreed with an awarding body. If your child will need access to diabetes tech during an exam, you should speak to the school and they'll be able to contact the relevant awarding body.

What type of reasonable adjustments are there?

The two main types of help which might be available for a child with diabetes are access arrangements and special considerations.

Access arrangements

Access arrangements are agreed before sitting the exam and involve arranging reasonable adjustments to make exams more accessible for students with disabilities, temporary illness or special educational needs.

Some examples of access arrangements are:

Being allowed to take drinks and snacks into an exam to prevent or treat a hypo or hyper.

Being allowed to bring in their blood sugar monitor and insulin treatment into an exam.

Taking a supervised rest break to treat a hypo or hyper. Supervised rest breaks are where the clock is paused while a student treats themselves. The clock restarts when they've recovered.

Special considerations

Special considerations are requested after a student has taken an exam and involve seeking an adjustment to a mark or grade because a student's performance was affected by temporary illness, injury or personal circumstance.

Getting special considerations can be difficult to get because there must be evidence showing what happened, for example, a record of the child's blood sugar levels.

Students with type 1 diabetes might be able to apply for special considerations if their blood sugar has been low or high and it has affected their performance in an exam.

The process for requesting special considerations and access arrangements are the same in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Scotland

In Scotland, there is a slightly different process. An exceptional circumstances service will be in place later in the year for students who are unable to sit the exam or whose results may be impacted by personal circumstances. You can find out more on the SQA website.

For both special considerations and exceptional circumstances it is important to find out ahead of the exam how the awarding body apply these. In some instances, starting or finishing the exam may be taken as implied confirmation that you are well enough to complete it.

So, it is important to talk to the school and ensure everyone is clear on the most appropriate approach if a child feels unwell before or during an exam and thinks this will impact their performance.

Diabetes UK - Managing School Trips with Diabetes

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
There's no reason that a child with type 1 diabetes shouldn't be able to go on a school trip or miss out on any part of school life.

School across the UK have a legal responsibility to make arrangements to support any student with a medical condition so that they can enjoy the same opportunities as any other child, including school trips.

Pre-trip meeting

Before a school trip, have a meeting with the parents, child and their paediatric diabetes specialist nurse (PDSN) to cover what their needs are outside of school time.

Any child with diabetes should already have an individual healthcare plan or IHP which goes shows what they need and which members of staff help them.

This meeting should ideally take place about six weeks before the trip, although the sooner you can meet the better. This is so you have enough time to train any members of staff on any area's that might come up in the meeting.

Staff training

If possible, it's a good idea if the members of staff that help to look after a student's diabetes in school can go on the school trip. This is because the child and their parents will already be comfortable and confident with them helping to manage their diabetes.

At least two people should be fully trained to support a child with diabetes, but all members of staff who are going on the trip should be aware of the child's diabetes and what to do in case of an emergency.

There should always be enough trained staff available to support and make sure students with diabetes can take part. Schools should never rely on parents or carers to provide this support.

Overnight stays

If you're taking students on a school trip where you're staying overnight, a child with diabetes will need insulin injections and their blood sugar testing. This might also include testing and giving them insulin during the night.

If your student uses a pump, you might need a pump set change depending on how long the trip lasts.

If the child can't blood test or do their own injections or manage their pump, this will need to be done by a member of staff. The staff who will do this should meet with the parents and PDSN well in advance of the trip to talk about what help their child will need and get extra training if needed.

Risk assessment

School staff who organise school trips should be aware of how a child's diabetes might impact on their participation, but there should be enough flexibility to ensure a child can still join in.

School staff should look at what reasonable adjustments they might need to make so a child with diabetes can take part and have fun safely.

It is best practice to carry out a risk assessment to identify any changes that need to be made to a child's care that you don't look after on a normal school day. This will need to be done in good time and with the child, if their old enough, parent and PDSN.

The main risk for a child with diabetes is that they become unwell because of high or low blood sugar levels. If not managed properly, this can lead to the child needing medical help.

Activity, food, any change in routine, stress and excitement can all affect blood sugar levels, all of which are likely to happen on a school trip. But if school staff are aware of these potential risks, action can be taken to make sure a child is safe and that their diabetes is managed.

Type 2 diabetes in children

Has your child recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes? Or are you worried they're at risk? We've got all you need to know. We also have a page on young adults with type 2 diabetes.

What is type 2 diabetes?

Type 2 diabetes is a serious condition where the insulin our pancreas makes can't work properly, or the pancreas can't make enough insulin. This means blood glucose (sugar) levels keep rising.

Type 2 diabetes in children and young adults is known to be a more aggressive form of the condition. If it's left untreated, type 2 diabetes can lead to permanent damage in the body due to the build-up of sugar in the blood - but it can be managed well. With the right specialist support, it's possible to live well and avoid complications.

What are the symptoms of type 2 diabetes in children?

The symptoms of type 2 diabetes can develop more slowly than type 1 diabetes. A lot of people don't get any symptoms, or don't notice them. But you may notice your child displaying or experiencing some of the more obvious common symptoms below. It's important to talk to your child's GP if you notice any of these.

Toilet - going for a wee more often, especially at night.

Thirsty - being constantly thirsty and not being able to quench it.

Tired - being incredibly tired and having no energy.

Thinner - losing weight without trying to, or looking thinner than usual.

Genital itching or thrush

Cuts and wounds taking longer to heal

Blurred vision

Learn more about the  symptoms of diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes risk factors

Factors such as ethnicity can increase the risk of type 2 diabetes but living with obesity and overweight is thought to be behind the rising number of children with type 2. If your child has been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, or you're worried they're at risk of developing it, we're here to help.

Simple changes such as keeping active and healthy eating can often make a big difference. A healthy, balanced diet includes a variety of fruits and vegetables, wholegrains, dairy and incorporates healthy choices from different food groups.

Some factors can increase your child's risk of getting type 2 diabetes. Because the symptoms of type 2 diabetes are not always obvious, it's really important to be aware of these risk factors. They can include:

Living with obesity or overweight

An unhealthy waist size

Ethnicity. You're more at risk if you're of African Caribbean, Black African, or South Asian (Indian, Pakistani or Bangladeshi) or Chinese descent

Family history For example, if you have a parent, brother or sister with diabetes

Medical history: such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure.

Will it go away?

Type 2 diabetes can't be cured, but some people can go into remission. There's lots of evidence to show that some adults with type 2 who live with overweight or obesity can go into remission by losing a significant amount of weight. But there is not much evidence to show that children and young people who develop the condition can also go into remission. The limited evidence about remission has mainly come from young people who have undergone bariatric surgery.

Type 2 diabetes remission is quite a new area, so more research is needed before we fully understand it in different groups. We don't have enough evidence that remission is permanent. It needs to be maintained and in many cases, blood sugar levels can come back into the diabetes range, which is why it is so important that people continue with their diabetes appointments while in remission. Read about our research in this area.

Complications

Younger people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes are at a much higher risk of developing diabetes complications as the condition is more aggressive compared to older adults. Complications include heart disease or damage to the kidneys eyes or nerves. These complications can come on more quickly in children and young adults than in older adults with type 2 diabetes.

The risk of developing complications can be reduced by getting support to manage blood sugar levels and trying to keep HbA1c in the target range. Blood pressure, cholesterol and weight are also important in reducing the risk of complications. Also, by attending appointments and checking in with your healthcare team about how to take care of your child's diabetes can reduce the risk of developing complications.

Will they need medication?

If your child is diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, the usual treatment is metformin, and insulin is also commonly used. Some children over ten years might also have different types of medication prescribed called GLP-1 or SGLT-2 inhibitors if they meet certain criteria.

There is evidence to suggest that children with type 2 diabetes who receive care from specialist paediatric diabetes clinics get better support to manage their diabetes. Sadly, we know not everyone can access one. If you haven't been referred, ask your GP if there's one in your area.

Checking blood sugar levels

Your child's healthcare team will provide information on how and when to check blood sugar levels, what levels to aim for, and how to manage hypos. If they are at risk of hypos
your child might also be eligible for a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) or Flash glucose monitor. You can read more information here.

Looking after your emotional health

If you're caring for a child with diabetes, it can be very rewarding, but at times it might also feel overwhelming. It's ok if you feel upset, frightened, or even angry. It's important to make sure you look after yourself and find time to relax. Think about how you can make sure you get enough sleep, and look after your other relationships with your partner, friends or family.
Your child also may struggle with coming to terms with their diagnosis. If you've noticed their mental health is suffering, check out our Emotions and diabetes page for tips on managing stress.

Who should I tell?

If your child has type 2 diabetes, it's a good idea to tell your child's school. They can help support your child to live well with diabetes by encouraging a healthy, balanced diet plus plenty of exercise.

If your child uses insulin, they may need support with this and it's important the school are familiar with the signs of a hypo. Your child may also need to take time out of school to attend appointments so it's important the school are aware of their type 2 diabetes and their individual needs.

Speak to your healthcare team about organising a diabetes education session with your child's school so you and your child's teachers feel confident about managing their condition.

Prevention

Research has shown that there are several risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes. These include ethnicity, family history, and weight.

Eating a healthy, balanced diet that includes more fruits and vegetables plus getting active is the best way to prevent type 2 diabetes in adults as well as under-18s.

Evidence suggests that lifestyle changes are easiest to stick to if the whole family gets involved. We've got lots of family-friendly recipes for you to try, and plenty of ideas for getting active with children.

For children with overweight or obesity, changes like these will help them manage their weight. If you're worried about your child developing type 2 diabetes because they aren't very active, they live with overweight or obesity, or have any other risk factors, speak to your GP about getting them support.

See guidelines on physical activity for children on the NHS website.

Diet

We know that when it comes to food, making healthy choices isn't always easy. We've got loads of information and guides to help you eat well. To get you started, have a look at our large selection of meal plans.

There is no such thing as a specific type 2 diabetes diet. What, and how much, you or your child should eat depends on things like how active you are, what you enjoy, and whether you are aiming to manage your weight. However, it's important to remember that a healthy, balanced diet includes a variety of fruits and vegetables, wholegrains, dairy and includes healthy choices from different food groups.

Thinking about making changes to your family's diet might seem overwhelming. If you're looking for support we can help. Check out our information on eating well with diabetes. It's available to download, or we can send a printed copy straight to your door. You can also ask for a referral from your GP to see a dietitian with your child.

What's next?

If you require more advice or support, or have questions, please don't hesitate to contact our helpline. And get tips from others living with diabetes on our forum.

If you're a young adult who's living with or who is at risk of type 2 diabetes, check out our type 2 diabetes and young adults page.

Type 2 diabetes can happen at any age and is usually managed by eating the right foods and keeping active.

Type 2 diabetes usually happens to older people, but some young people and children can develop type 2 diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes happens when the body isn't making enough insulin, or when insulin resistance has built up. This makes the insulin have a weaker effect on removing glucose from the blood.

Type 2 diabetes can happen at any age, and it is just as serious as type 1 diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes is managed by diet and exercise in some cases. This is called diabetes management.

However, diabetes medication and insulin are used in more serious type 2 diabetes cases.

New words to remember:
Type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, diabetes management, diabetes medication
