Diabetes in children: warning signs parents should not ignore

The importance of lab tests in detecting childhood diabetes

Diabetes in children can be detected early with laboratory tests that measure blood sugar and identify potential metabolic issues. At Bioclinic Clinical Laboratory, our Children’s Health Check includes glucose, anemia, urine, and stool tests, available in Limón and Puerto Viejo de Talamanca.

Diabetes in children is becoming increasingly common and deserves special attention from parents, teachers, and healthcare professionals. Detecting it early can make a crucial difference in a child’s health and quality of life.

One of the first warning signs of diabetes in children is frequent urination or bed-wetting in kids who have already learned to use the toilet. Other common symptoms include increased hunger, blurred vision, unusual tiredness, frequent infections, and dark patches on the skin, especially around the neck, armpits, or groin area.

When these signs appear, it is important to perform laboratory tests to determine blood sugar levels and identify any metabolic alterations as soon as possible.

At Bioclinic Clinical Laboratory, we offer a comprehensive Children’s Health Check, which evaluates blood glucose levels, detects anemia, and screens for possible urinary infections or intestinal parasites through stool analysis. This complete check-up helps ensure the early detection of any irregularities and supports timely medical intervention.

Our professional team provides attentive care and accurate results designed to protect your child’s well-being.
