Question
How long can a child have diabetes without knowing?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
One British survey, for instance, found that only 14 percent of parents know the main warning signs of Type 1 diabetes. As a result, kids can suffer for weeks or months with undiagnosed Type 1 diabetes, and for years with undiagnosed Type 2.
