Parents Often Miss Low Blood Sugar in Diabetic Kids

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Children with type 1 diabetes have a difficult time recognizing warning signs that their blood sugar has fallen to dangerously low levels, and their parents do even worse, a new study demonstrates.
纽约路透健康， 一项新的研究表明，1型糖尿病的孩子很难认识到他们的血糖已经降到很危险的低水平，他们的父母甚至更糟。
In a 7-month study, researchers found that parents missed 54 percent of instances when a child had moderate \"hypoglycemia,\" or low blood sugar, while kids missed 41 percent of these episodes.
经过7个月的研究，研究人员发现，孩子出现中度低血糖或低血糖，54%的父母，41%的孩子没有察觉。
Hypoglycemia is an \"inevitable\" consequence of insulin treatment, Dr. Linda Gonder-Frederick of the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, told Reuters Health. Severe hypoglycemia can have harmful consequences, she pointed out, including disorientation, unconsciousness and even seizures.
弗吉尼亚大学的儿科医生Dr. Linda Gonder告诉路透，低血糖是胰岛素治疗”不可避免“的后果，她指出，严重低血糖能产生有害的结果，包括，神志不清，意识模糊甚至抽慉
Gonder-Frederick and her team had 61 children, 6 to 11 years old, and their parents rate hypoglycemia symptoms, estimate the child's blood sugar level, and measure it using a survey programmed on a personal digital assistant. The study participants completed 70 trials of the survey over a month, and then reported episodes of severe hypoglycemia for the next six months.
Linda Gonder及其小组对61个6到11岁的孩子和他们的父母鉴定了低血糖的症状，评估了孩子的血糖水平，用一种个人数字辅助调查程序进行测定。这些参加者一个多月内，完成70多项试验，在随后的6个月中。报告了严重低血糖发作。
Blood sugar estimates by both parents and children were accurate less than one-third of the time, the team found. Parents made mistakes that could have harmful consequences in 23 percent of cases -- for example, thinking that a child had high blood sugar when it was actually low, while 27 percent of children's estimates represented potentially harmful mistakes.
小组发现，当时父母和孩子的血糖评估，三分之一不准确，例如，父母的错误，23%的病例具有有害的结果，当血糖确实低的时候，认为是高血糖。当时，估计，27%的孩子表现出潜在的有害错误。
\"arents and children in general are not provided with enough patient education about hypoglycemia and its impact on the body, especially the central nervous system,\" Gonder-Frederick noted. When their brains aren't getting enough glucose (sugar), she explained, children can lose control over their behavior, which may look like misbehavior to their parents.
Linda Gonder指出“一般说来，父母和孩子都没有受到足够的低血糖及其伤害身体，特别是神经系统，的教育，她解释，当他们的大脑没有得到足够的葡萄糖，孩子的行为会失去控制，他们的父母看来，是行为不端。
According to the researcher, parents and their diabetic children can find good information on low blood sugar and how to cope with it from Childrenwithdiabetes.com, the American Diabetes Association, and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
按照研究人员的意见，父母和孩子们可以，通过糖尿病儿童网页，Childrenwithdiabetes.com, 美国糖尿病协会，青少年糖尿病研究基金会寻求低血糖的最佳信息
