Type 1 diabetes: One percent of all children have risk genes

1/31/2018

 
More and more children in Germany fall ill with type 1 diabetes. The frequency of new cases increases by three to five percentage points per year. Also, this disease is considered the number one metabolic disease in childhood and adolescence. For this reason, pediatric diabetologists have been researching for years, so that the disease can not even break out, because at the moment about 21,000 to 24,000 children are living with this disease. A current prevention study is investigating how to train babies' immune systems early enough to prevent the onset of type 1 diabetes. For this, parents can have their babies tested for free in Lower Saxony, Bavaria, Saxony and other European countries. 300,000 infants are taken to a few drops of blood and subjected to analysis. The Freder1k study found that about one percent of all children have a genetic predisposition. 10 out of every 1000 children carry risk genes. In order for the body of the baby to deal with insulin, similar to a hyposensitization in allergies, the babies are given an insulin powder for baby food. However, as the metabolic disease may also be dependent on other environmental factors, another study has examined the tolerability of cow's milk proteins associated with diabetes risk. However, it was found that complex foreign proteins such as cow's milk products do not reduce the incidence of type 1 diabetes. Source: Pharmaceutical newspaper
