Neonatal Diabetes
Neonatal diabetes is a rare form of diabetes that appears in the first months of life, when the baby's body does not produce enough insulin, the hormone that helps regulate blood sugar.
What sets it apart: Unlike the more common forms of diabetes, it is usually related to causes present from birth and appears very early in life.
Possible signs in the baby:
- Increased amount of urine
- Difficulty gaining weight
- Irritability or dehydration
Which specialist treats it? The pediatric endocrinologist is the one who studies and follows this type of diabetes in the youngest children. In the presence of warning signs in a newborn, the prudent course is to seek professional evaluation right away.
