Caesarean section increases the risk of diabetes in children

Children born as a result of cesarean section, 20% higher risk of diabetes than children born of the first type in a natural way. This form of diabetes usually occurs in early childhood. In Europe, the number of patients is growing, and experts can not find an explanation. Scientists at the University Belfast have to understand more than 20 studies, what is the reason for this trend analysis. The results are published in the current issue of the journal PubMed. This disease is very dangerous, that even with regular treatment for life require insulin injections and blood tests obtained. In the UK, about 250 thousand people suffer from the disease, compared with 2 million people with diabetes of the second type, which occurs later in life. Scientists do not. Able to find an explanation for about 20% of cases of diabetes of the first type, as they are not with other factors such as birth weight, breastfeeding, maternal age, gestational diabetes during pregnancy associated In the UK are on average 24% of births by caesarean section, compared to 15%, as recommended by the WHO. Scientists believe not, most operations carried out for medical reasons, but because the doctors are trying to recommend to protect yourself from complications during childbirth and many mothers surgery. According to experts, the exact cause of diabetes first type in 20% of children are not clear, but one can assume that it is the cause of c-section because the baby is not in the first contact with the bacteria, hospital premises, and on the bacteria of the mother.
