Baby grow faster because the diabetes

Research published in a letter that the growth rate of speed before the age of the infant in the risk of childhood diabetes is high. The letter from Sofia Children's Hospital Rotterdam, Dr. Bruining and colleagues. They said in the letter, rich countries in life, I diabetes onset age is declining. As an affluent life after birth can get plenty of nutrition, so its growth rate will be increased. The early acceleration of growth is bound to increase insulin secretion.

Bruining and colleagues studied children with type I growth rate of infants during their 1-year-old relationship between insulin secretion rate. They chose 91 to 15 years in the 4 years between the onset of juvenile diabetes, 125 patients and their healthy siblings. The researchers analyzed these juveniles in infancy and childhood body length, height, body mass index (BMI) change. Experiment also selected 2151 healthy Dutch children as normal.

The results showed that pre-diabetes in children and their healthy siblings have normal birth weight. 2 weeks after birth, 4 weeks, these children have normal body length and BMI. But brothers and sisters with their health compared to pre-diabetes in overweight children in an age trend. And their tall children was significantly higher than normal average, even greater than their healthy brothers and sisters.

In the 2-year-old and 3 years old, pre-diabetes in children and their brothers and sisters in height growth rate was significantly higher than the control children. However, pre-diabetes weight gain of children is lower than their healthy brothers and sisters. After 3 years of age, pre-diabetes children and their brothers and sisters have become normal growth rate.

Bruining said that because the study used only 91 of 125 diabetic children and their healthy brothers and sisters, so this study are only preliminary results. He hoped that this study will encourage other countries with longitudinal growth data and that this study will continue to carry on.
