Patient's question:
My colleague's child developed diabetes at a very young age. I originally thought that only after getting older and paying attention to diet would one get diabetes, but I didn't expect the age range for diabetes to have shrunk so small now. What factors or causes lead to children getting 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.
