Overview
Permanent Neonatal Diabetes Mellitus (PNDM) is a rare, inherited form of diabetes that affects children shortly after birth. It is caused by a genetic mutation that affects the ability of the pancreas to produce insulin, the hormone that helps to regulate blood sugar levels. The lack of insulin leads to dangerously high levels of glucose in the blood, which can cause life-threatening complications if not treated. PNDM is treated with a strict regimen of insulin injections, healthy eating, and regular blood sugar monitoring. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to preventing long-term complications of the disease.
