Patient's question:
The child has been fed with formula milk since they were a baby and never breastfed. A few days ago, during a health check-up in the village, it was discovered that the child has diabetes. How could such a young child develop diabetes? What factors or causes led to the child's diabetes?Doctor's answer:
Hello, type 1 diabetes in children is not common. The factors or causes of type 1 diabetes in children: it is viral infections such as colds and mumps. It is related to diet, as it is best to start cow's milk feeding for infants after they are 8 months old, otherwise the probability of developing diabetes will increase, and food has a certain impact on infant diabetes. It is related to genetics, as the medical community currently believes that neonatal diabetes is related to genetic genes. Parents may have genetic genes that do not manifest in themselves but are expressed in their children, which is also a characteristic of type 1 diabetes.
