When the subject of diabetes is referred, white kids are said to be more prone to the dealty disease; claiming this, a new population-based study shows that type 1 diabetes is more prevalent in white kids than those of other races.
According to this study:-
• White kids were more susceptible to type 1 diabetes.
• Among Hispanic and Asian kids, its prevalence was lower but just slightly.
• Kids between 10 to 14 were comparatively more susceptible to type 1 diabetes.
• From gender point of view, girls were found more prone to diabetes than boys.
• Constantly, prevalence of type 2 diabetes among kids was found increasing.
• Prevalence of type 2 diabetes was more in American Indian between the group
After reading these facts, severity of the situation can easily be estimated. Well, it is nice to know that there has not been seen much rise in diabetes among kids but to take the fact, which states that around 15,000 kids are engulfed with type 1 diabetes every year, taking it as granted won’t be right.
Actually, diabetes is turning out to be quite a serious problem, which is fast raising its hood round the mammoth world, taking kids under its clutches. Well, a high percentage of experts, believes that quick rise in obesity among kids is one the of the basic causes behind increase in type 1 diabetes among children. More brood is the fact that type 2 diabetes, which is normally associated with adults has fast started foraying into kids too all over the world.
On this base, it won’t be wrong to say that relevant and strong measures are required to be taken; otherwise days are not far away when diabetes would appear as a common health problem among white kids, turning their lives into a hell.
