in #educacion6 years ago (edited)

Hello friends, greetings to the whole community, especially @steemiteducation!


Today I want to share with you a reality that live more and more pre-adolescents in the world, who are diagnosed with type II diabetes. As adults suffer a process of adaptation when they are informed that they suffer from this disease, however for them this reality is harder and harder, since they must make important changes in their lifestyle, which also differentiates them from the rest of the group, something very important at this age. It is for them, that both parents and educators must keep informed through the support of professionals in this area and psychologists, who guide us how to act and support young people throughout the process involved in the adaptation and management of a chronic disease.

It is very important the attitude that parents and teachers assume in front of the diagnosis of the child's or pre-adolescent's illness, since they are the closest people of whom they should receive: comfort, encouragement, tranquility.

When diagnosed with type II diabetes, pre-adolescents show the following effects:

  • He feels affliction before all the new situations and changes that he must make in his way of life to be able to control the symptoms of the disease. The anguish is related to fear of the unknown, and is accompanied by a series of symptoms, which diminishes the quality of life of those who suffer it, and can cause worse consequences.

I share textually the symptoms of the anguish and the following link where I can investigate more of the subject:

  • Apparition of sadness and intense grief.
  • Feelings of guilt and ideas of self-elimination.
  • Loss of pleasure for the tastes of life.
  • Lack of desire for everyday tasks.
  • Lack of motivation for employment, family life, social relationships and even for sex life.
  • Decline in intellectual activity.
  • Anxiety.
  • Mood disorders.
  • Emotional instability.
  • Impulsivity.
  • Associated disorders in food and even in sexuality.

  • Also the young person can present / display depression, in this age the social life is very important and the environment plays a primordial paper in its behavior, the changes in the feeding, control of its levels of glucose, punctured insulin, to learn how and when to make exercise, makes you wonder if you are going to be accepted by your friends and family, so many times this is isolated and your self-esteem is increasingly debuted.

  • School behavior and performance may also be affected, loss of interest can be seen in the failure to perform school tasks and responsibilities, attitudes of rebellion, intolerance to frustration, so the educator must be aware of the situation is living the young, so that together with parents and psychologists can handle the circumstance in the healthiest way, to support in the management of diabetes and not be a factor of pressure that worsens the mental and physical health of adolescents.
  • Education can not be above health and educators should be aware that diabetes has a strong psychosocial component that makes it worse, that is, that many social stimuli can generate emotional stress, which affects hormones, the immune system and endocrine pre-adolescent, reason why there must be support for the patient to the extent that it can of all their social environment.

Many bibliographies show that psychosocial therapy can improve adherence to treatment, glycemic control, psychosocial functioning and quality of life in patients with type II diabetes, so it is important that parents and educators insist and support this so that it is fulfilled.

A esa edad lo que más se necesita es del control emocional y apoyo de los padres para no alarmar ni preocupar más a un joven que probablemente le tomará más tiempo y experiencia entender su condición y los cuidados que necesita. Si no es fácil controlar a un adolescente, es más difícil aún cuando necesitan atenciones y cuidados extras hasta en lo más simple, por eso no deben perder la calma.

Estoy de acuerdo contigo, el acompañamiento de los familiares es primordial para la salud mental y fisica del joven cuando es diagnosticado como "diabético". Gracias por tu apote, saludos.
