The type 2 diabetes As an exclusive disease of adults, new cases are diagnosed day by day in children. The causes are bad nutritional habits or sedentary lifestyle among others, such is the proliferation of this disease, which we cite as an example the incidence in the United States. 15 years ago the incidence did not exceed 3% of cases of type 2 diabetes in adolescents, currently reaches 45%.
Precisely, during the last 15 years the increase in sedentary lifestyle or poor nutrition has triggered the rates of overweight and obesity worldwide and people of all ages, which gives us a clear idea of the relationship between the disease and overweight or obesity
A publication of the electronic magazine The Lancet informs us in detail about the main causes that lead to the onset of diabetestype 2 and the terrible complications resulting from starting at such an early age.
A review of all studies conducted so far alerts us to the need to know all the problems caused by the disease in the child population. This review has been carried out by Israeli experts from the pediatric endocrinology department of the Sheba Medical Center in Tel-Hashomer in Israel. In type 2 diabetes, the human body produces insulin, but the cells are not sensitive enough to it and blood glucose levels remain high. When the disease is in the body, the solution involves controlling the diet and exercising, thus controlling blood sugar levels.
Parents must have a cure for the health of our children and we must not allow the development of these types of diseases that seriously affect their health, these are a direct consequence of our actions, we must ensure the diet and exercise performed by our children In fact it is our responsibility.
There are many complications resulting from this disease, cardiovascular, renal, ocular problems ... that is why it is necessary to control type 2 diabetes rigorously to at least guarantee a better quality of life for our children.
Experts recommend various measures that we must apply in the case of type 2 diabetes being diagnosed, an in-depth examination of the eyes is a measure that must be performed as soon as the disease is diagnosed to know the state of the retina and each This exploration must be repeated year. Analyzes that offer the figures of cholesterol or triglycerides or analysis of liver functions, will allow to control and prevent the development of other derived diseases.
And to think that the solution was as simple as taking care of the food and exercise that our children do, we will avoid many problems if we do.
