The number of people with diabetes in China is increasing rapidly, and there are problems such as low awareness, low treatment and low compliance rates. At an event hosted by the Beijing Medical Association’s Diabetes Committee to commemorate Diabetes Day, experts called for special attention to be paid to the prevention and control of diabetes in children and adolescents. It is predicted that the number of people with diabetes in China will increase significantly in the next 10 years. One important reason for this trend is the rapid urbanization of China’s suburbs in recent years. The diet and lifestyle are becoming more urbanized, but health awareness has not yet been enhanced. At the same time, the prevalence of diabetes among children and adolescents is increasing year by year, which is also closely related to poor lifestyle habits such as high-calorie diet and reduced physical activity. To control diabetes, prevention is more important than treatment, and preventing children and adolescents from developing diabetes is the most important. Nowadays, children have a heavy school workload, lack of physical activity and physical exercise, and even when they are resting, they spend a long time indulging in playing games. games. In addition, the diet is not reasonable enough, many people consume too much protein, fat and calories. According to a survey, the incidence of obesity among children and adolescents in Beijing has increased by 100% in the past 10 years. The more obese children there are, the more diabetics there will be in the future. Special attention should be paid to children and adolescents with high risk factors, such as those with a family history of diabetes, those who are obese, those who do not pay attention to diet and lack of exercise, and those who lack sleep. Poor sleep increases mental stress and leads to endocrine disruption. If your child has the following problems, you may be able to detect signs of diabetes, and you should take your child to the doctor as soon as possible: sudden lack of exercise, loss of energy, weight loss for no reason, excessive urination, especially nocturia, or even recurrent bedwetting in older children who have not wet the bed for many years, sticky urine, excessive drinking, blurred vision, itchy skin, recurrent urinary tract infections, wounds that do not heal easily, etc. The main measures to prevent diabetes in children and adolescents are, first, to instill a reasonable health concept in children and adolescents, second, to make them exercise more, third, to establish good eating habits, and fourth, to ensure adequate sleep.
