Abstract:
Currently, diabetes affects more than five hundred million people worldwide and the numbers are projected to increase. Conventional management of diabetes is essentially limited to lowering blood sugar (glucose) levels by means of insulin and other pharmacological drugs. In recent years, certain plant extracts (micronutrients) have been studied for their effects on diabetic metabolism. These studies, however, were largely conducted with individual micronutrients, thereby neglecting the superior synergetic effects of these bioactive molecules in the prevention and therapy of diabetes.

Diabetes in Children and the Role of Micronutrients

The steady increase in diabetes among children and young adults is one of the emerging health problems worldwide. This disease, characterized by impaired glucose metabolism and abnormally high blood glucose levels, has serious negative health consequences in young organisms, many of which surface later in life.

In addition, pharmacological treatments primarily developed and tested in adult diabetics carry health risks and are associated with unanticipated side effects when administered to children. All these concerns generate interest in developing micronutrient based approaches as safe and effective alternatives to medical drugs in both prevention and management of diabetes, especially in children.

 

This review outlines the scope of this health problem, highlights current therapeutic approaches to pediatric diabetes, and presents the latest findings on preventive and therapeutic potential of micronutrients and other natural compounds in controlling diabetes in children.

As a key substrate for generating biological energy in all of the body’s cells, glucose is vital for sustaining life. Numerous other metabolic processes and bodily functions also depend on a steady supply of glucose. In all aspects, optimum intracellular transport of glucose is essential for a healthy metabolism and for maintaining healthy blood glucose levels.

Abstract:
Incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus is increasing worldwide with both environmental and genetic factors implicated in its development.   Diabetes is often preceded by metabolic syndrome (MS) and can develop in normal adults ingesting a high fructose diet.  The effect of high fructose intake in development of MS in children and adolescents is less clear.
