Omega-3 has great potential in reducing type 1 diabetes in children

Recently, a study conducted by the Finnish National Institutes of Health (http:// showed that omega-3 has great potential in reducing the incidence of type 1 diabetes in children, which has been published by the European Diabetes Research Association Early studies have confirmed that omega-3 can regulate the immune system and inflammatory response, so it plays an important role in type 1 diabetes related immune diseases In order to further evaluate the effect of omega-3 fatty acids in reducing type 1 diabetes associated with immune response, 7782 children with type 1 diabetes tendency were monitored between 1997 and 2004, and islet cell immune response and blood sample tests were performed on these subjects regularly until the age of 15 years The results show that omega-3 fatty acids play an important role in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes, especially in infancy The results also showed that high levels of fish fatty acids in serum reduced the risk of early autoimmune disease in children In addition, intake of fish oil fatty acids during lactation can prevent type 1 diabetes Breast fed infants have higher serum fatty acids and a lower risk of type 1 diabetes related immune diseases than non breast fed infants This study provides a new idea for the prevention of type 1 diabetes in children However, these findings need to be further confirmed by other studies At the same time, the causal relationship between the two must be clarified In general, early nutritional intervention is necessary to prevent type 1 diabetes If the link between omega-3 fatty acids and type 1 diabetes is further confirmed, more randomized clinical trials will be conducted in the future (http:// Compared with type 2 diabetes, the prevalence of type 1 diabetes is significantly less, but the incidence of the population is mainly young people, in recent years, it also shows a rapid increase trend As an autoimmune disease, type 1 diabetes can not be reversed once it enters the pathogenesis process Insulin injection is needed for life, and there will be many complications The results of this study can be regarded as another milestone in the process of anti type 1 diabetes
