Patient's question:
My child told me that they don't have the strength in their body, so I took my child for a check-up. The result showed that my child has diabetes. How can a child still get such a disease?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 factors. Parents may have genetic factors that do not manifest in themselves but are expressed in their children, which is also a characteristic of type 1 diabetes.
