New research presented at the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Madrid, Spain, has found that eating fruit, oats and rye in childhood is associated with a higher risk of developing type 1 diabetes (T1D). Eating berries, however, is linked to lower odds of developing the condition.
T1D is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing islet cells in the pancreas. This prevents the body from producing enough of the hormone insulin to properly regulate blood sugar levels.
T1D, the most common form of diabetes in children, is increasing worldwide. The number of cases worldwide is projected to double in just 20 years, from 8.4 million in 2021 to 17.4 million by 2040.
Type 1 diabetes is a serious condition that requires lifelong treatment and so places a considerable burden on the patient and their family,” says Professor Suvi Virtanen, of Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare, Helsinki, Finland, who led the research.
“It can lead to complications including eye, heart, nerve and kidney problems and shorten life expectancy and has substantial health care costs.
“The rapid increase in type 1 diabetes in children suggests that environmental factors play an important role in the development of the disease. Identifying these factors will offer an opportunity to develop strategies to prevent it and its complications.”
Numerous foodstuffs have been linked to islet autoimmunity – the attack on the insulin-producing cells – and T1D but there is a lack of high quality evidence from prospective studies and the existence of a link remains controversial.
