Patient's question:
I saw a news report that said diabetes is the most prevalent disease in China right now, and there is currently no cure for this condition. As a result, it has accumulated the largest number of patients. I always thought that only older people could get this disease, but the report said that children can also develop it. However, I don't know what pediatric diabetes is.Doctor's answer:
Hello, first of all, there are viral infections such as colds and mumps; secondly, in terms of diet, it is best for infants to start cow's milk feeding after 8 months of age, otherwise the risk of developing diabetes will increase, and food has a certain impact on infant diabetes; thirdly, it is related to genetics. Currently, the medical community 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. If the baby does not supplement vitamin D, their risk of developing diabetes is more than 7 times higher than that of children who supplement vitamin D.
