Type 1 diabetes is the disease that usually first appears in childhood. It is an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas, leading to high blood sugar levels. Hepatitis A and B can occur in childhood, but they are not exclusively pediatric diseases. Type 2 diabetes is more commonly associated with adulthood, although it is increasingly being diagnosed in children due to rising obesity rates.
