Question

Over the past 20 years, the rate of diabetes in the United States has risen dramatically. What do you think are the reasons for the increase in the rate of childhood diabetes? What do you think are some ways to prevent children from Type I and Type II diabetes?

Answer 1

Scientists still do not know why type 1 diabetes occurs, but they think it could be an autoimmune disorder. Children with type 1 diabetes are born with it, so it is hard to prevent it.
But, you can prevent type 2 diabetes from happening. Sticking to a healthy diet, and staying away from an overload of sugary sweets can help prevent it.
