The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the United States National Institutes of Health (NIH) have financed a one -way study called Search for Diabetes in Youth that shows alarming figures in the rate of new cases diagnosedof diabetes in adolescents.
The new cases of diabetes 2 in people under 20 increased 4.8 p % per year, more than twice the rate of new cases of diabetes 1, which increased 1.8 % per year.The study also showed that the rate of new cases diagnosed with diabetes 2 in the group of 10 to 19 years, increased more markedly in Native Americans (8.9 %), Asian-Americans and islanders of the Pacific (8.5 %) and non-Hispanic blacks (6.3 %), while in Hispanic young people increased 3.1 %.
The rate of new cases diagnosed in the group of 10 to 19 years, "increased much more in girls (6.2 %) than in boys (3.7 %)", according to the report.
Dr. Janine Sánchez, director of the Uhealth Pediatric Diabetes Program, explained that children and adolescents must exercise 30 to 60 minutes per day, avoid naps and stay awake late, limit the entertainment time in front of a screen,Establish a healthy diet that includes vegetables, limit snacks and avoid the following things: high calorie drinks such as juices, beaten and soft drinks, late dinner or near bedtime, jump meals, and ingest foods such as fries in the stock market,Pizza and fast food.
"It is better to try to prevent type 2 diabetes developing healthy habits and keeping them from an early age," he explained, while advising parents to contact their child's pediatrician if they have any concern that their child has or shows symptomsof diabetes.
