Despite the efforts of medicine, modern people cannot forget about health problems, especially when it comes to children.

Experts believe that many modern children are at risk of chronic illness, but the reason for this is not the environment, but lifestyle.

Modern children are increasingly faced with diabetes due to a sedentary lifestyle and poor nutrition, pediatrician Liliya Muzafarova told NEWS.ru.

Today, children's lifestyles are becoming increasingly sedentary. They eat foods high in sugar, fast food, or processed foods. The combination of these factors often leads to the development of a dangerous disease. In addition, there have been cases where diabetes has become a consequence of COVID-19, the doctor explained.

The doctor draws attention to the fact that the development of diabetes after a coronavirus infection affects the condition of the pancreas.

The disease can cause high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, and even sleep apnea.

This is why it is necessary to undergo a medical examination in a timely manner in order to diagnose diabetes when it develops.

Reasons to undergo an examination may include weakness, frequent thirst and urination, nausea and vomiting.

If you miss the moment, your health condition may worsen to the point of coma.

It is equally important to review the diet, maintain physical activity of the child and minimize the consumption of sweet desserts, sugar, starchy foods, saturated fats, fried foods and fast food.
