In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: In many cases, type 1 diabetes is first diagnosed in the emergency room, when children are admitted in a diabetic coma or diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Though it can be treated with fluids and insulin, it's best to avoid this altogether by consulting your physician immediately if you suspect your child may be diabetic. Don't wait for your child to pass out for a long time thanks to DKA in order to have your suspicions confirmed. Get your child tested! Symptoms that require immediate medical attention include: loss of appetite, nausea or vomiting, a high temperature, stomach pain, fruity smelling breath (likely you can smell it but your child won't be able to smell it themselves). If you suspect that your child might have type 1 diabetes, get evaluated immediately. To diagnose diabetes your doctor will want to request a blood test to assess how much sugar is in your child's blood. There are two possible tests, hemoglobin test and a random or fasting blood sugar test. Glycated hemoglobin (A1C) test This blood test provides information about your child's blood sugar levels over the past two to three months by measuring the percentage of blood sugar attached to the hemoglobin in the blood. Hemoglobin is a protein that carries oxygen in the red blood cells. The higher your child's blood sugar levels, the more sugar will be attached to the hemoglobin. A level of 6.5% or higher on two different tests is indicative of diabetes. This test is the standard test for diabetes assessment, management, and research. Blood sugar test In this test, your doctor takes a random blood sample. Irrespective of whether your child just ate or not, a random blood sugar level of 200 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) may indicate diabetes, especially if it occurs with other symptoms. Your doctor may also consider taking a blood test after requiring your child fast overnight. In this test, a blood sugar level from 100 to 125 mg/dL indicates prediabetes, while a blood sugar level of 126 mg/dL (7 mmol/L) or higher on two separate tests, your child has diabetes. Your doctor may also request a urine test to confirm Type 1 diabetes. The existence of ketones, which emerge from the breaking down of fat in the body, in the urine is indicative of Type 1, as opposed to Type 2. The presence of glucose in the urine also indicates diabetes. Once the tests are completed, your doctor will use your child's blood test results and the American Diabetes Association (ADA) criteria to diagnose diabetes. Following the diagnosis, your child will need close medical follow-up until their blood sugar has stabilized. Your doctor will need to determine the right type of insulin for your child as well as the appropriate dosage. You will likely need to consult an endocrinologist, a specialist in hormone disorders, in order to coordinate your child's diabetes care. Once the basic insulin treatment plan for managing your child's type 1 diabetes is set, you will need to schedule checkups for your child every few months to repeat some of the above tests to make sure your child's blood sugar levels are satisfactory. Your child will also need to have regular foot and eye exams since these are often places where the symptoms of poor management of diabetes are seen first. Though there is no cure for diabetes, technology and treatment have developed to such an extent that most children with type 1 diabetes live happy and healthy lives once they know how to manage their diabetes.
Summary: Know when to consult a physician. Visit your physician for examination. Receive the diagnosis and treatment plan.

Problem: Article: Vinegar contains acetic acid, which effectively kills weeds. Keep in mind that vinegar is non-selective and will kill any living plant it touches, not just weeds. White vinegar can be used alone, or you can add additional ingredients to the vinegar to make an even stronger solution. Avoid using vinegar on or near your lawn, since it will kill the grass. Vinegar will raise the acidity of your soil. Before planting, test the pH of your soil and adjust it accordingly, if needed. Use horticultural vinegar with 20% acetic acid for increased effectiveness between pavers or on patios. The extra acidity will affect the pH balance of your soil and other plants. Lemon juice contains high levels of citric acid and can be effective when used with the white vinegar. If you want to try it, simply mix the lemon juice in with your 2 c (400 mL) of white distilled vinegar. Dish soap can be a helpful addition to vinegar when you're dealing with weeds that have a waxy coating or a "hairy" surface, like dandelion and crabgrass. The fuzzy exterior blocks the absorption of vinegar, but dish soap will penetrate the outer protective layer of the plant and help the mixture stick to the leaves. You can use dish soap or dishwasher detergent in liquid or powder form. Dish soap can be used in conjunction with a lemon-vinegar mixture, but a soap and vinegar solution will be very effective. Isopropyl alcohol can be very effective when mixed with white vinegar or even when used alone. You can also use cheap gin to achieve similar results. Simply add the alcohol of your choice to the white vinegar and stir it thoroughly. You can use alcohol, vinegar, and lemon juice together in one mixture, but a solution that strong may cause soil damage. You can use the full-strength solution if your weed problem is severe, but this is typically too strong. A 50/50 mix diluted with water will be very effective on weeds without traumatizing the area where it's used. Full strength solutions may penetrate the soil and kill the roots of plants other than weeds. They can also disturb crucial microorganisms in the soil. Use a funnel to transfer the solution to a spray bottle, then replace the nozzle tightly. Apply the solution to the weeds and monitor the results for 24 hours. If needed, you can apply more solution, but you probably won't need to. Set the nozzle to "stream" rather than "spray" if the weeds are growing close to plants that you don't want to kill. Don't forget -- weed killer does not discriminate. It will kill any plant it comes in contact with, so use it carefully!
Summary:
Start with 2 c (400 mL) of white distilled vinegar. Add 2 to 3 tbsp (29 to 44 mL) of lemon juice concentrate, if desired. Add 1 to 2 tsp (7 to 14 mL) of dish soap to kill particular plants. Mix 1 fl oz (30 mL) of rubbing alcohol into white vinegar. Dilute the vinegar solution 1:1 with water. Pour the solution into a spray bottle and apply it to your weeds.
