How Wristbands Support Juvenile Diabetes Awareness?Best Way To Use Custom Bracelets for Education, AwarenessWristbands personalized with diabetes awareness message help us to raise awareness and educate people on this serious disease. More than 15,000 children are diagnosed with juvenile diabetes each year. Juvenile diabetes is Type 1 diabetes diagnosed in a child. It is very different than Type 2 diabetes, and educating the public about the difference between the two is an important step in helping people understand the challenges of managing Type 1 diabetes.
November is American Diabetes Month, which includes many events to raise awareness of both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes (also known as juvenile-onset or insulin-dependent diabetes), accounts for 5 to 10 out of 100 people who have diabetes. In type 1 diabetes, the body's immune system destroys the cells that release insulin, eventually eliminating insulin production from the body. Without insulin, cells cannot absorb sugar (glucose), which they need to produce energy. Juvenile diabetes can be difficult to manage and can greatly affect a child or teen’s life. While advances in medicine and technology have come a long way, more research is needed to help manage Type 1 diabetes and help children with this disease live normal lives. Facts about Juvenile DiabetesThere is no cure for juvenile diabetes. Taking insulin keeps children with diabetes alive, it is not a cure. Here are some important facts about juvenile diabetes from the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation: While obesity has been identified as one of the “triggers” for type 2 diabetes, it has no relation to the cause of type 1 diabetes. Scientists do not yet know exactly what causes T1D, but they believe that both genetic and environmental factors are involved. Eating too much sugar is not a factor.
