Is Prevention of Diabetes in Children Possible?
The question is ruling many recent research on diabetes, and some have shown encouraging results. Education and prevention of diabetes has been the theme of World Diabetes Day since 2009; 2013 being the last year of the tenure of the theme. But the cycle of education, awareness and search for prevention of diabetes has been firmly set.
Tips for primary prevention of diabetes
1. Before birth
Mother’s nutrition is important for fetal growth and development. Adequate DHA in lactating mother’s diet is crucial for optimal immune system development of the neonate.
2. Newborns and infants
Babies brought up on mother’s milk are at reduced risk for diabetes.
The benefit of breastfeeding through infancy has been documented in babies genetically predisposed to type 1 diabetes.
Besides the fact that mother’s milk is most appropriate food for an infant, its positive effects are attributed to:
a.) Breastfed babies are Not exposed to cow’s milk during early infancy.
Introduction of top milk and weaning foods before optimal maturation of the gut, is believed to trigger allergies and autoimmune mechanism.
b.) Probiotic effect of human milk.
3. Defer from strict hygiene practices.
Maintain friendly relationship with good bacteria.
4. Adequate intake of vitamins:
Low vitamin D levels increase insulin resistance.
5. Avoid obesity in children:
It leads to insulin resistance, the prediabetic state of type 2 diabetes.
6. Minimize sedentary time
Children and teenagers of present time generally lead a sedentary life. Activity hours are only limited to compulsory sports and gym schedule. Outdoor games have become a rarity. Electronic communication and multimedia entertainment mars children's physical activity that leads to metabolic imbalance.
7. Reduce television viewing time
8. Balance diet
Technical advances and fast life has changed the availability of foods and our eating habits. Traditional diets of Mediterranean, African and Asian is proving to be well balanced and full of essential nutrition.
9. High fructose intake induces metabolic syndrome.
High fructose corn syrup is the sweetening agent used in most of the marketed sweets and beverages.
10. Refrain from desire for sweets
Excessive sugar intake is found to be associated with increased risk of diabetes. This is independent of excessive calories consumed with inappropriate meal plans.
A recent study shows that the epidemiological incidence of type 2 diabetes rises by 1% for each additional 150 calories taken per person per day from sugar. These values are of great significance if seen in light of the escalating health threat that childhood diabetes poses.
It's a long list.
Precautions to be taken can be overwhelming.
