Dream - Most people think that high blood sugar and cholesterol problems only occur in adults or the elderly. In fact, children can also experience them.

The most at-risk children are those who have a family history of cholesterol and blood sugar problems. Like the experience of a mother and owner of Instagram account @bumiphilar, who just found out that her son has high levels of cholesterol and blood sugar.

This started when his son complained of pain while urinating. He also revealed that black streaks like dirt appeared on his son's neck.

"It all started from a child complaining about their painful urination, so we took them to the doctor and were advised to have a blood test. The results were Cholesterol 218, LDL 152, and pre-diabetes 5.7," he wrote in an Instagram post."

With laboratory results indicating high cholesterol and pre-diabetic conditions, the child was then referred for consultation with an expert endocrinologist.

From the examination, his son was given medication to stabilize his blood sugar and cholesterol. "After that, he was given medication for 3 months to control and lower his blood sugar levels," he wrote on Instagram.

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The doctor also advised his son to have his nutrition and daily menu arranged. This is because the eating pattern of the child needs to be improved in order to stabilize his blood sugar and cholesterol."

"The bottom line is that my child must live a healthy life forever. One of them is by following a healthy diet (without flour, fried foods, sugar, oil, milk, cheese, etc.)," he said. "

It also revealed that his family does have a history of diabetes. The mother also advised many parents not to delay the examination if their child complains of pain when urinating.
