Asthma can Make Pediatric Diabetes Care Difficult

Children who are victims of both asthma as well as diabetes have a difficult time controlling their blood sugar, according to a recent study, though this is an area which needs to be studied further.   The new study found that 11 percent children who are victims of diabetes also suffer from asthma.

Most children are victims of Type 1 diabetes, although Type 2 is also becoming common among children.

"Among youth with type 1 diabetes, asthma is associated with poor glycemic control, especially if asthma is untreated," researchers said.
