Mild diabetes (type 1 diabetes) is a variety of diabetes that adults with diabetes (type 2 diabetes). Diabetes (type 2 diabetes) starting with adults multiplied at a speed that is struggling to cope with a weak health care system like ours. Globally, Pakistan stands at a dangerous extent (fourth) for the number of people living with type 2 diabetes (about 34 34.5 million). Although diabetes starts with adults is a scientifically proven with a scientifically unhealthy lifestyle and is more than 90 % of diabetes burden, diabetes is less than 10 % of the total burden of diabetes in childhood. According to estimates, there are about 26,000 children living with type 1 diabetes in Pakistan. Due to the lack of Pakistan’s data, these figures are expected to be around 100,000, according to promoting the data from neighboring countries.
Unlike adults, diabetes, which can be treated with lifestyle changes and pills, childhood diabetes can be treated only with insulin injection. It is a lifetime treatment without which the condition can be deadly. About 24 24 % of children in Pakistan are unconcerned with childhood diabetes.
While type 2 diabetes has national health and productivity at the national level and for the affected individual, Type 1 diabetes, in addition to child health, has a social and emotional tool for the entire family.
Pakistan is a lowly middle -income country with 25 % of its population below the poverty line. Expert health care (diabetes specialist) is not always convinced. Imagine a baby from a backward family with type 1 diabetes, who lives in a remote area of Pakistan, as well as have difficult access to insulin, as well as the increasing value of life and insulin. Can it be worse? Can there be a standard of living between this “just trying to survive”? In most such landscapes, parents are left to either barely resort to insulin or send them to school and pay school fees, “if they live, they can go to school in their lives.”
Every sad scenario can be a silver lining, but as a preliminary point, national -scale advocacy efforts are needed. For example:
No child deserves to lose a healthy life and life -saving treatment like insulin.
Type 1 diabetes awareness campaigns target public and health care officials. This will require the efforts of a tag team between healthcare organizations, public care departments and advocate organizations.
Improvement of insulin and diabetes care for the backward population through a network of public sector hospitals across the country, access to priority and free price.
Subsidic insulin pricing for type 1 diabetes community. This will require national drug regulatory authorities and the monitoring of the insulin pharmaceutical industry and supported by national health officials.
Legislation and implementation to protect the rights of diabetes -affected children in schools to raise awareness and minimize social isolation.
Promoting co -workers’ support at local and national levels of emotional welfare and destiny.
Children and families who live with this condition at every step and step are also included. Without them, nothing will happen to them. Familiarity with their living experience can help create a advocacy effort to meet their needs and to benefit them. Type 1 diabetes advocacy organizations may be a formal voice in this regard.
No child deserves to lose a healthy life or life -saving treatment like insulin. This is their basic human right. The deer is with national health care stakeholders. If not a standard life, let’s at least give these children the right opportunity to live.
