Type 1 diabetes is a type of diabetes in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin, causing the body to not be able to use blood sugar to produce energy, generating symptoms such as dry mouth, thirst and frequent urination .

Diabetes occurs in children up to 18 years of age and is usually characterized by type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Childhood diabetes has no cure , but can be controlled through the use of insulin and adoption of a healthy lifestyle

Diabetes mellitus is a disease characterized by excess blood sugar due to the ineffective performance of insulin, which is the hormone responsible for lowering blood glucose.

The insulin pump, or insulin infusion pump, as it may also be called, is a small, portable electronic device that releases insulin for 24 hours. Insulin is released and goes through a small tube to a cannula, which is attached to the body of the diabetic individual through a flexible needle, which is inserted into the abdomen, arm or thigh, as the images show

When taking the growth hormone (GH) the individual should be aware of the possible side effects caused by it, such as the development of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, for example.
