Prevention of Diabetes Mellitus Type I

Preventing this type of diabetes can be of two types:
Primary prevention, which is conducted before the start of the disease, and secondary, when there is a clinical stage of disease.

Primary prevention consists of the following events:
Conducting genetic studies in children whose parents suffer from diabetes. In the near future in the developed countries plan to introduce screening of all newborns in order to identify genetic susceptibility to type I diabetes. Currently, such surveys are underway in Finland and in parts of Italy.

Preventing infection in utero as well as in children and adolescents.

Exception of baby food products, which can induce autoimmune processes that destroy the beta cells of the pancreas (cow’s milk, barley, and nitrogenous substances – nitrates, toxins).

Drinking quality water.

Secondary prevention consists of determining the degree of destruction of beta cells of the pancreas, drug therapy aimed at the protection of the autoimmune aggression (nicotinamide treatment), and discharge insular apparatus (low-dose insulin therapy).
