What are the prevention methods for childhood diabetes?

Patient's question:

Now diabetes is becoming increasingly common among young people. Last week I saw another news report saying that some children have diabetes. My baby loves sweet foods very much, and I am also very sad about his liver disease. What are the prevention methods for childhood diabetes?

Doctor's answer:

The aging of diabetes is closely related to the way children are raised. For example, allowing children to excessively consume sweet foods at an early age, especially by giving them carbonated beverages, and not controlling their weight are common issues faced by parents of diabetic children. Therefore, prevention efforts should focus on these aspects: avoid keeping sugar and other highly sweet foods at home, especially for families with a history of diabetes. Reduce the consumption of sugary drinks for children, particularly carbonated beverages.
