Expert recommendations: diabetic children should be started from the diet

Henan People's Hospital, Dr. Zhao Zhigang, director of endocrinology, said younger children poorly expressed, and expressed as the incidence of respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract infections, the disease easily overlooked by adults, resulting in missed diagnosis, misdiagnosis. Been diagnosed with diabetes, many children have a more serious condition.

Zhao Zhigang, director of physicians believe that for two reasons. First, children and adult patients with diabetes compared to "a little over 3" (polyuria, polydipsia, and weight loss more than drinking) was not obvious symptoms, children and more food, more drink, but the parents thought it was the growth of the signal, error considered "good."

Second, children with diabetes in children, 1 / 3 of the first incidence of children with acute onset, the incentive to infection, or in the incidence of the last few weeks or months, repeated respiratory tract, digestive tract, urinary tract or skin infections . Children with fever, difficulty in breathing, when often mistaken for upper respiratory tract infection, bronchitis, etc..
Zhao Zhigang, director of physicians to alert parents to take care of their children for similar symptoms take special care, to introduce children to the doctor an accurate family history of diabetes and recent history, to facilitate the correct diagnosis.

Zhao Zhigang, director of Physicians, said many young children belonging to type Ⅰ diabetes mellitus, autoimmune disorders are caused by a lack of self-produced insulin can promote the metabolism of sugar, resulting in elevated blood sugar. Taking the drug to promote insulin secretion can not play a role in lowering blood glucose, take the direct application of insulin to control blood sugar.

Zhao Zhigang, director of physicians believe that the original of diabetes in young people, Ⅰ diabetes accounted for the majority, but the United States and Japan in recent years, studies show that, Ⅱ diabetes mellitus accounts for about 60% of young people. In 2007, the Provincial People's Hospital of Endocrinology, Diabetes, held in the province of professional survey of diabetes in children, investigated more than 200 pre-school pier, results showed that diabetes and the incidence of pre-diabetes as high as 2.5%, the prevalence of insulin resistance (insulin the role of barriers to the form of an expression), indicates that after the easy part of the child may be suffering from diabetes. If obese children, there is drinking, polyuria, weight loss or skin lesions of acanthosis nigricans, it should take into account the possibility of type Ⅱ diabetes mellitus, in time to check blood sugar and early diagnosis. Zhao Zhigang, director of physicians believe that the changes in the type of young people with diabetes are overweight, obesity-related. In China, changes in diet, high-calorie, high-protein food intake too much, resulting in more and more pier. Caused by excessive intake of calories youth obesity, overweight, is already an important impact on child health issues, diabetes is one of the important reasons.
Prevention is very important, Zhao Zhigang, director of physicians believe that the science of food, supplementary grain cereals, not only can maintain the standards of children's weight, the healthy growth, but also effectively prevent and treat diseases such as metabolic disease. The treatment of children with diabetes is weight loss, diabetes control diet from the beginning of science. With the development of drugs, oral drugs, insulin pump, diabetes is preventable and controllable, as long as the children diagnosed in time, the disease can be effectively controlled.
