Patient's question:
I've been married for a year, and now my wife is pregnant for six and a half months. However, my appetite has become better than hers, and I easily get thirsty, yet my body remains very slim. My wife thinks I'm abnormal and asks me to go to the hospital for a check-up. The examination revealed that I have Type 1 diabetes and must take insulin injections long-term. I'm very worried that our baby will inherit this disease.Doctor's answer:
Hello, women should take preventive measures against viral influenza and other diseases from the time of pregnancy to the delivery of the fetus. This is an important aspect of preventing type 1 diabetes. The prevention of type 1 diabetes primarily begins in the prediabetes stage. For detectable prediabetes, nutrition must be adjusted during the neonatal and infant period to start preventing type 1 diabetes. Moreover, the prevention of type 1 diabetes mainly involves early prevention in the first-degree relatives of patients.
