What is childhood diabetes

Patient's question:

I saw a news report that said diabetes is the most prevalent disease in China right now, and there is no cure for this disease yet. Therefore, 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 get 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; second, regarding diet, it is best for infants to start cow's milk feeding after 8 months of age, otherwise the probability of developing diabetes will increase, and food has a certain impact on infant diabetes; third, it is related to genetics, 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 manifest in their children. If the baby does not supplement vitamin D, their probability of developing diabetes is more than 7 times higher than that of children who supplement vitamin D.
