Diabetes In Children

You wouldn't usually associate diabetes with children and adolescents but diabetes is now one of the most chronic childhood diseases. Globally, an estimated 500,000 children under the age of 15 live with Type 1 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes, once considered an adult health problem, is growing at an alarming rate in children as well.

Come November 14, the International Diabetes Federation and WHO together with United Nation will commemorate World Diabetes Day ( 2 Day ago). A two-year (2007 and 2008) focus on children hopes to raise awareness of the warning signs of diabetes and to promote healthy lifestyles to help prevent type 2 diabetes in children.

>Frequent urination
>Excessive thirst
>Increased hunger
>Weight loss
>Tiredness
>Lack of interest and concentration
>Blurred vision

Urgent Care Services in Florida

Dr. Alejandro Aguirre Wallace's pricing discounts attract many Americans traveling south of the border from Los Angeles and San Diego with roundtrip transportation services from the San Diego Airport, lodging in a condo for one week, and prices that include hospital and medical fees. Package costs average around $8,500, quite a savings over bariatric surgical procedures in the United States.

Says Jane H. "Dr. Aguirre is the most helpful, talented and kind surgeon I have ever met, and that is from a nurse of over 20 years! My insurance would not cover weight loss surgery and I needed a revision of a vertical banded gastroplasty. I stayed in the hospital two nights and then went to a provided condo for five nights. Dr. Aguirre actually made a house call!"
