4-year-old boy has diabetes, mother collapses in tears, doctor says, “All this comes from the family”
The mother never stopped feeling guilty because her son had to live with diabetes since he was 4 years old due to ignorance and improper upbringing.
The news of a 4-year-old Chinese boy who was diagnosed with diabetes and has had to inject insulin 4 times a day for the past 9 years, and is unable to sleep without medication, has left many people feeling sad and sorry for him.
The boy’s mother said that since the age of 4, her son had been feeling hungry, urinating frequently, thirsty all the time, feeling weak and his breath smelling fruity even after brushing his teeth properly. After being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, the whole family was shocked. What made the situation worse was the doctor’s words, “It’s all in the คาสิโนออนไลน์ UFABET ฝากถอนรวดเร็ว เริ่มต้นเล่นง่าย family.”
It turned out that the boy’s family had a history of type 1 diabetes. Inherited from his grandfather to his father and uncle. However, both his mother and grandmother were careless and thought that diabetes was not a genetic disease and was just an “adult disease”.
In addition, the child had been eating very sweet foods since he was young. After his parents divorced, the child lived with his grandmother, who saw that her grandson liked soda and sweets. So she let him eat and drink them every day. The mother, who was busy working and did not come back to visit her son very often, only sent him money to buy things his son liked. Not worried at all that the son had been drinking soda instead of plain water for many years.
The doctor who looked after the boy said that many people misunderstand. That diabetes is not passed down genetically like it is in this child’s family. But in fact, Type 1 diabetes has a strong genetic factor. This type of diabetes is caused by the immune system destroying insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. It is often caused by a combination of genetics and environmental factors. Such as eating a lot of sugar or infection.
Children with risk genes have a higher chance of developing the disease. If they are exposed to triggers such as consuming sugary foods. Although the genes cannot be changed. Diet and lifestyle control can reduce the risk or delay the onset of the disease. However, this child has both risk genes and poor eating habits. So it is difficult to avoid developing type 1 diabetes.
Because soft drinks are high in fructose, they cause blood sugar to rise rapidly, putting pressure on the pancreas. In children whose metabolism is not yet complete. Drinking soft drinks frequently can cause abnormal blood sugar metabolism, stimulate insulin resistance, and worsen diabetes. Especially in children with a family history of this disease.
Doctors also warn that soft drinks have no nutritional value and promote obesity, which is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes in children. Diabetes, whether type 1 or type 2, can cause long-term damage, such as damage to the kidneys, eyes or nervous system if it is not properly controlled.
The boy’s case has been told by his family to remind them to be responsible in caring for their children’s health and not to be careless with genetic diseases. Doctors also emphasize that even though family history cannot be changed, living a healthy life can help control or reduce the risk of diabetes.
Therefore, regardless of genetic history, it is important to take care of your diet, exercise regularly, and have regular check-ups. If you notice any abnormalities, consult a medical professional immediately. Never be careless.
