U.S. study found that eating fish rich in Omega -3 fatty acids, such as food, thus reducing the family history of diabetes in children suffering from this disease risk.

According to Singapore's "Lianhe Zaobao" reported, Ⅰ diabetes mellitus in children the most common disease with genetic and environmental factors, such as related to diet. U.S. researchers Norris said: "The new discovery shows that through the adjustment of the nutritional prevention of type Ⅰ diabetes mellitus."

Norris from the University of Colorado and colleagues have done in the experimental animals revealed that the fish, flaxseed oil, walnuts, soybeans and other food items contained in Omega -3 (Omega-3) fatty acids, there is the prevention of type Ⅰ diabetes mellitus effect.

The team will give these children a year at least once a blood test to check their auto-immune component of the islet, resulting in 58 children have such antibodies would attack the islet. The survey found that high-risk children, as long as eating Omega -3 fatty acid-rich food, the body of pancreatic islet autoimmunity appear component will reduce the possibility of 55%.
They also examined 244 children in blood cell membranes of Omega 3 fatty acids and found that blood cell membrane fatty acids of the existence of such children, the health component of islet autoimmunity risk of a decrease of 37%.
