Type 2 Diabetes in Children
"Children often have no symptoms of type 2 diabetes before they are
diagnosed because their blood sugar level has been rising so slowly.
As a result, a child may have diabetes for several years before being
diagnosed."
Common symptoms of type 2 diabetes in children may include:
* Slight increase in the frequency of urination.
* Slight increase in thirst.
* Little weight loss, unlike children with type 1 diabetes.
Other possible symptoms include:
* Increased tiredness.
* Nausea.
* Blurred vision.
* Frequent infections and slow-healing wounds or sores.

Symptoms of Hyperactivity Disorder in Children
===============================================
"Typically, AD/HD symptoms arise in early childhood, unless associated
with some type of brain injury later in life. Some symptoms persist
into adulthood and may pose life-long challenges. Although the
official diagnostic criteria state that the onset of symptoms must
occur before age seven, leading researchers in the field of AD/HD
argue that criterion should be broadened to include onset anytime
during childhood. Criteria for the three primary subtypes are
summarized as follows:
AD/HD predominately inattentive type: (AD/HD-I)5
* Fails to give close attention to details or makes careless mistakes.
* Has difficulty sustaining attention.
* Does not appear to listen.
* Struggles to follow through on instructions.
* Has difficulty with organization.
* Avoids or dislikes tasks requiring sustained mental effort.
* Loses things.
* Is easily distracted.
* Is forgetful in daily activities.
AD/HD predominately hyperactive-impulsive type: (AD/HD-HI)5
* Fidgets with hands or feet or squirms in chair.
* Has difficulty remaining seated.
* Runs about or climbs excessively.
* Difficulty engaging in activities quietly.
* Acts as if driven by a motor.
* Talks excessively.
* Blurts out answers before questions have been completed.
* Difficulty waiting or taking turns.
* Interrupts or intrudes upon others.
AD/HD combined type: (AD/HD-C)5
* Individual meets both sets of inattention and hyperactive/impulsive
criteria.
