There are no doubts that a surplus amount of sugar intake, inadequacy of physical exercise in combination with hereditary factors make the situation ripe for development of diabetes...but off lately another fresh factor has been added into this list. According to a recent study, good hygiene and clean environmental living conditions have added into the risk of diabetes particularly the type 1 diabetes in kids.
Trends display that cases of type-1 diabetes have become five-fold in children over the last 15 years.
“It could be a consequence of people being exposed to fewer infections. Some scientists believe this is why rates of asthma are also increasing at peak. The immune system is presumed to fight infection but in asthma and type 1 diabetes it gets misdirected,” opines a researcher Polly.
The rise is too sharp and fast to be blamed upon genetic factors, so changes in environment can be another major issue, details of which are still to be recognized and discussed in detail.
