The World Day of the Diabetes, organized by the Federation Internationale of the Diabetes and sustained by the world organization of Health (WHO) has place November 14. All as the edition 2007, this one is dedicated to the children and diabetic teenagers, whose number is in increase, like the whole population. The diabetes at the young is a real curse, again too unrecognized of the general public. The World Day hears to inform therefore on this pathology. In margin of the World Day takes place from November 14 to 16 the Lounge of the diabetes and the nutrition in Paris, opportunity to show the role determining the food in the apparition of the diabetes of type 2. ..The diabetes of the young, a threat Every day, more than 200 children develop the diabetes through the world. For many children of country in development, the future is dark. The two main types of diabetes are on the increase at the children and the teenagers. The data lately published in the Diabetes Atlas suggest that more than 70 000 children develop a diabetes of type 1 every year and that 440 000 children of less than 14 years are reached of diabetes of type 1 on a world scale. "Every year, the diabetes of type 1 is diagnosed at 1 200 to 1 500 children of less than 20 years in France" indicates the Pr Jean-Jacques Robert, chief of the service pediatric diabétologie of the Necker hospital (Paris) and President of help to the Young Diabetics. In the same way, the diabetes of type 2 (the shape of the illness in relation with the obesity and the overweight that was before very rare at the children) progresses quickly, notably at some ethnic groups. In some regions, the diabetes of type 2 caught up or even out of date the diabetes of type 1 as main shape of diabetes at the young. In 20 years, the diabetes of type 2 doubled for example at the children in Japan, where it is henceforth more current than the diabetes of type 1. In some regions of the United States, one estimates that the diabetes of type 2 represents close to 45% of the new cases of diabetes at the children. However "a young that develops a diabetes between 10 and 15 years is threatened with coronary thrombosis to 25 years" announcement the Pr Jean-Raymond Attali, endocrinologue-diabétologue to the Jean-Greenfinch hospital of Bondy (Seine-Saint Dennis).
..To inform on the diabetes
Again too many received ideas circulate again about the diabetics. An investigation Norvo Nordis/IFOP achieved in October 2007 revealed that according to the young diabetics and the parents interrogated, the information of the French concerning diabetes proves to be in many respects insufficient. They confound the two types of diabetes, type 1 and type 2 thus. The signs precursors obvious of the illness as a frequent desire to urinate, an excessive thirst, the loss of weight and fatigue are sometimes ignored and the diabetes is confounded with the flu or is remained non diagnosed. However, if he is not discovered enough early at a child, the diabetes can be fatal or drag important cerebral complications. The World Day of the Diabetes has for objectives: .To improve the sensitization to the first signs of the diabetes, in particular in the regions poor and the underprivileged communities; .To encourage the initiatives aiming to reduce the impact of the diabetic acidocétose (diabetic coma) at the children at the time of the diagnosis and to distribute the material associated to these initiatives. The diabetic acidocétose is the accumulation of toxic substances, called body cétoniques, that returns the too acidic blood,; an elevation of the blood concentration of body cétoniques is easy to treat, if it is discovered and treated without delay; however, if nothing is made, the person can end up sinking in the coma and to die; .To encourage the initiatives aiming to reduce the impact of the diabetic acidocétose (diabetic coma) at the children to Promote it the styles of healthy life to warn to best the diabetes of type 2, notably at the youngest. On this occasion, free tests of tracking, meetings of information, shops and exhibitions on the diabetes are organized every year in 150 countries through the world. ..The lounge of the diabetes and the nutrition In margin of this Day, The French association of the Diabetics (AFD) organizes the Lounge of the Diabetes and the Nutrition. Version enlarged of the Lounge of the diabetes, this appointment is placed under the slogan: "Yes to the quality of life!".
