Patient's question:
My daughter has recently been craving sweets and a lot of sugar; she can't go without them, and she also drinks a lot of drinks. She went to the hospital for a check-up and had blood and urine tests, which revealed mild diabetes. The doctor prescribed some medication, but it's not very effective. Are there any other good treatment methods?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.
