The conference, which featured scientific presentations and panel sessions, was attended by more than 300 healthcare professionals, including senior physicians, endocrinologists, nurses and other allied health professionals.
Dr Ahmed El Awwa, consultant at HGH, said that diabetes is the most common endocrine and metabolic disorder among children globally.
“The most prevalent type of diabetes in children is type 1, found in 90% of children affected with diabetes. These children require insulin treatment,” Dr El Awwa said.
He explained that the causes of type 1 diabetes are still unknown, but many theories assert that it occurs due to autoimmune destruction that triggers a loss of pancreatic beta cells responsible for insulin production. The occurrence of type 1 diabetes has no link with consanguinity, positive family history, food habits, or medication, he pointed out.
Dr El Awwa said that the number of children and young adults affected by type 2 diabetes is beginning to rise, particularly with the increase of obesity and improper diets. However, it can be prevented through diet control and weight reduction strategies.
Children with diabetes are referred from Primary Healthcare Centers and pediatric emergency centers to HGH.
“At the unit, we offer highly specialized treatment and management to each and every child with diabetes. The availability of a multidisciplinary team comprising a pediatric dermatologist, diabetes educator, dietitian psychologist, and social worker who work collaboratively with the child’s family, ensures that the child receives the best possible diabetic
