Her name is Peggy, she is just 3 and a half years old this year, and she is a small Internet celebrity. The reason why people pay attention to her is because at her age, the weight is too exaggerated.
We can see from the social accounts of the girl's mother:
When Peggy was 1 year old, although a little fat, it was not exaggerated; when she was more than 2 years old, Peggy's weight had reached 50 pounds; at the age of 3, Peggy's weight reached 60 pounds...
Looking at the increasingly fat daughter, the girl's parents, instead of worrying and anxious, became more and more brazen and indulgent in feeding the girl. Not long ago, the girl's parents happily "announced": about to break through the 100-pound mark!
For Peggy's parents, perhaps their daughter's health is secondary, and the attention it brings is the most important. But as a doctor, I have to remind all parents that obesity doesn't just change appearance, it can even endanger the lives of children when it's severe.
4-year-old girls with diabetes need to take insulin for life!
Her name is Yuanyuan and she is 4 years old. In October 2020, symptoms such as vomiting, lack of energy and poor breathing suddenly appeared.
After his family rushed him to the hospital, Yuanyuan was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, accompanied by diabetic ketoacidosis, and the situation was very critical.
Although she saved Yuanyuan's life after rescue, she needed to control her blood sugar by injecting insulin for the next few days.
In fact, as early as before admission, Yuanyuan had already experienced overweight, eating and drinking, and urinating a lot. It is only out of love for the daughter that the family has always thought that Yuanyuan is just a good appetite and did not take it seriously, which has caused today's tragedy.
Coincidentally, the same situation had happened before, but the child was not as lucky as Yuanyuan.
The child was 4 years and 7 months old at the time, with a waist circumference of 95 centimeters, which was almost the same as that of an adult. The body mass index is more than 35, reaching the level of severe obesity.
Because of obesity, children also have some complicated metabolic diseases and sleep apnea syndrome, which is often referred to as snoring.
Unfortunately, the child died in sleep and snoring, and by the time the child's father found out, the child had no breath.
Diabetes in children is closely linked to parents
Why is it that childhood diabetes has a lot to do with parents, because the most important risk factors for childhood diabetes are genetics and diet.
Eat too well
Now every household attaches great importance to the nutrition of children, afraid that children's nutrition can not keep up, and it is more responsive to diet. As everyone knows, this is not only not for the good of the child, but also harmful to the child.
Eating high-sugar, high-fat and high-calorie foods without moderation, drinking carbonated drinks or milk tea, and fried foods, etc., all of which invisibly lead to excessive energy intake of children, and can not be converted and utilized in time, and over time, excessive weight, inducing the occurrence of diabetes.
heredity
Nearly 40% of children with type 1 diabetes have a positive family history. Even more regrettably, this factor cannot be reversed and changed. Therefore, if there are diabetics at home, be sure to take your child to the relevant examinations regularly. Timely detection and timely intervention and treatment.
Too little exercise
Because there is too little exercise, the obesity rate of children is also increasing year by year, which also promotes the increasing number of children with diabetes.
Lack of sleep
Today's children are very stressed and often shuttle between various training classes and cram schools. However, once the long-term sleep is not enough, it will induce sympathetic excitement, and glycotropins such as peelol and epinephrine will also secrete more, and then insulin resistance will occur, and diabetes will naturally occur.
Kids have these symptoms, be wary of diabetes!
The vast majority of children with diabetes are type I diabetes, which requires a lifelong dependence on insulin. Once you stop injecting insulin, you may lose your life within a year or two.
In addition to the typical "three more and one less", diabetes also has the following symptoms:
The skin in the neck or armpits begins to darken; there is a sweet taste in the exhaled gas; anorexia, nausea, or abdominal pain; the skin itches for no reason and is often tired; the vision is blurred and the temper is unstable.
Remember these and avoid diabetes!
The first and most important thing is a balanced diet. Be sure to control your intake of sugar, oil, salt, and fat.
Usually, be sure to let your child develop the habit of exercising to help consume excess calories.
Ensure the child's sleep, while parents try not to smoke, to avoid the harm caused by second-hand smoke and third-hand smoke to children.
