Q: All the symptoms of type 1 diabetes are a result of hyperglycemia or high glucose in the body, and the body working to balance it out. Increased thirst (polydipsia) is one of the most common symptoms. Extreme thirst occurs as a result of the body trying to flush out all of the glucose in the blood stream since it can't be of use (because there is no insulin to escort it into the cells). Your child may feel thirsty all the time or may drink unusually large amounts of water that are far beyond their normal daily fluid intake. According to standard guidelines, children should drink between five and eight glasses of fluids per day. Young children (ages 5 8) should drink less (about five glasses), and older children should drink more (eight glasses). However, these are ideal guidelines, and only you can know how much water and other liquids your child actually intakes on a daily basis. Thus, the assessment of increased thirst is relative to what your child usually consumes. If they usually drink just about three glasses of water and a glass of milk with dinner, but now constantly ask for water and other drinks and are drinking a lot more than their usual three to four glasses a day, this may be cause for concern. Your child may feel a thirst that cannot be quenched even if they intake a lot of water. They may even still appear dehydrated. Increased frequency of urination, also known as polyuria, is the body's attempt to filter out the glucose with urination. Of course, it is also a result of increased thirst. As your child drinks more water, the body will produce more urine, resulting in considerably higher incidences of urination. Be especially vigilant about the nighttime and check to see if your child is urinating more than usual in the middle of the night. There is not an average number of times that children urinate a day; this depends on their food and water intake and so what is normal for one child will not necessarily be normal for another. However, you can compare your child's current frequency of urination relative to his past frequency. If in general, your child went to the bathroom about seven times a day but is now going 12 times a day, this is cause for concern. This is also why the nighttime is a good time for observation or awareness. If your child never got up in the middle of the night to pee but is now up two, three or four times a night, you should take them to the doctor for testing. Also look for signs that your child is dehydrated from urinating so much. The child may have sunken eyes, a dry mouth, and a loss of elasticity in the skin (try lifting the skin on the back of the hand upwards in a tent shape. If it doesn't bounce back immediately, this is a sign of dehydration). You should also pay close attention if your child starts wetting the bed again. This is particularly important if your child has already been potty trained and has not wet the bed for a long time. Juvenile diabetes commonly causes weight loss due to metabolic derangements linked to increased blood sugar levels. Very often the weight loss is rapid, although at times it may progress gradually. Your child could be losing weight and may even appear emaciated or skinny and weak due to juvenile diabetes. Note that a loss of muscle bulk also often accompanies the weight loss due to type 1 diabetes. As a general rule, unintentional weight loss almost always warrants consultation with a medical professional. The resultant muscle and fat breakdown, along with calorie loss, stemming from type 1 diabetes further leads to loss of energy and subsequently increased hunger. Thus, there is a paradox here your child could be losing weight even as they demonstrate a noticeable increase in appetite. Polyphagia, or extreme hunger, results when the body attempts to get the glucose that its cells need from the blood. Your child's body wants more food to try to get that glucose for energy, but it cannot. Without insulin, it doesn't matter how your child eats; the glucose from the food will float around their bloodstream and never make it into the cells. Note that there is no medical or scientific benchmark to assess your child's hunger. Some children naturally eat more than others. Keep in mind that children tend to be hungrier when they experience a growth spurt. Your best bet is to measure your child's behavior with their previous behavior to assess whether they seem considerably more hungry than usual. For example, if your child would usually pick at their three meals a day but for a few weeks has been eating everything on their plate and even asking for more, this may be a warning sign. If this is accompanied by increased thirst and trips to the bathroom, it is less likely to just be a sign of a growth spurt. The loss of calories and glucose required for energy production, as well as fat and muscle breakdown, will generally result in tiredness and a disinterest in normally beloved games and activities. Sometimes children also tend to become irritable and have mood swings as a result of the exhaustion. As with the other symptoms mentioned above, you will need to assess your child's sleeping patterns based on what is normal for them. If they usually sleep seven hours a night but is now sleeping 10 hours and still complains of being tired or shows signs of being sleepy, slow, or lethargic even after a full night's sleep, you should take note. This may be a sign that they are not just experiencing a growth spurt or a period of tiredness, but that diabetes may be at work. High blood sugar levels change the water content of the optical lens and cause the lens to swell, leading to hazy, cloudy, or blurred vision. If your child complains of blurry eyesight, and repeated visits to the ophthalmologist have been of no use, consult a doctor to rule out Type-1 diabetes. Blurry vision usually resolves with the stabilization of blood sugars.
A: Keep track of your child's thirst. Notice if your child urinates more frequently than normal. Pay attention to any unexplained weight loss. Note if your child suddenly has an increase in hunger. Notice if your child suddenly seems fatigued all the time. Take note if your child complains of blurry vision.

Q: Use your foot to click the gear shift pedal so the motorcycle shifts into first gear. Keep the clutch engaged with your left hand so the motorcycle doesn't shift into gear yet. With your right hand, rev up the engine by twisting the throttle down. Look at the repetitions per minute (RPM) gauge and look for the red line towards the top of it. Rev up the engine so the arrow is about 75% of the way to the red line at the top. Start revving the engine slowly to make sure the engine isn't in gear and the bike won't move. It's important that you build up the engine before you put it into gear so the tire spins too fast to gain traction. Make sure your feet are flat and you're standing stable. To make sure that all of the weight is off of the rear tire, lean forward a little bit. Don't ease off of the clutch to disengage it. Instead, let it go in 1 motion by releasing all of your fingers at once. The engine will then engage in first gear and the rear tire will start spinning to create a burnout. The longer you hold the burnout, the more wear and tear on your rear tire. Use your left hand to pull the lever to engage the clutch, which will pull the engine out of first gear and into neutral. Rollback the throttle with your right hand, but keep the brake engaged the entire time. The rear tire will come to a stop and your motorcycle will not roll forward. Do not release the brake until the tire has completely stopped spinning.
A:
Put the motorcycle into first gear. Rev up the engine close to the red line on the gauge. Lean forward slightly to shift all of the weight off of the rear tire. Let go of the clutch to perform a burnout. Reengage the clutch and release the throttle to end the burnout.
