What I learned: Dosages of Omega-3 and Vitamin D can cause a lower chance of Type I diabetes.
ReplyDeleteQuestion: If the condition of IA is largely genetic, how do Omega-3's affect it?
Essentially, how is it possible to prevent a genetic condition with diet?
DeleteFact: IA prevents insulin to be created which leads to type 1 diabetes.
ReplyDeleteQuestion: Do n-3s and Vitamin D share some qualities because they both show to help IA disease?
Fact: Islet Autoimmunity is often a precursor to Type 1 Diabetes
ReplyDeleteQuestion: How do they measure the risk of childhood-onset type 1 diabetes (OR)?
Statement: Type 1 diabetes is the stoppage of insulin production, which creates an excess of sugar in your blood.
ReplyDeleteQuestion: Would a combination of vitamin D and omega-3 supplementation be the most beneficial in decreasing/negating the effects of type 1 diabetes?
A higher amount of Vitamin D or PUFAs will reduce your chance of contracting Islet Autoimmunity at birth. IA functions in the pancreas and stops your body from producing insulin, which raises your blood sugar without stopping (Type 1 Diabetes).
ReplyDeleteQ: How specifically is Type 2 Diabetes caused?
Islet Autoimmunity is a precursor for type 1 diabetes. Your body stops producing insulin from the pancreas, which means you cannot moderate blood sugar.
ReplyDeleteIf Type 1 diabetes is genetic, how can it be prevented by omega 3s/vitamin d?
