A few days ago, a little 4-year-old girl arrived at our Children's Hospital-San Vicente Fundacion, Paloma, who radiates happiness and tenderness through her smile and personality.
At two years old, she was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus, a chronic condition in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin, and which is most often diagnosed in children, adolescents, or young adults.
Yina, her mother, decided to consult since the little girl suffered from malnutrition because her symptoms consisted of vomiting and loss of appetite. After being referred to several Hospitals, she arrived at our Children's Hospital, where since she began her process, she has received the necessary care during her relapses.
According to Yina, Paloma stands out for being a very tender and friendly girl, who likes to explore and learn new things. That is why she daily carries out the activities proposed by the teachers in the Hospital classroom, which help her to develop her cognitive abilities and complement her learning, encouraging her to have fun and let her imagination run wild while she learns.
