Also known as juvenile diabetes, Type-1 diabetes usually occurs in childhood or adolescence. It is an autoimmune disease resulting in an abnormally high blood sugar level because the pancreas makes little or no insulin. As consequence, children suffering from the disease require daily insulin injections for survival.
Following an early research suggesting that omega-3 fatty acids present in fish like salmon may help prevent type-1 diabetes, a new study has been conducted by Norwegian researchers to confirm the protective role of omega-3 fatty acids in type-1 diabetes.
The online edition of health magazine WebMD reported that this new study confirmed that those children who reportedly had higher intakes of omega-3 fatty acids had less evidence of the ‘auto-antibodies’ linked with the progression of juvenile diabetes. Conclusion was based on 1,770 children observation.
