The case of increased diabetes in children has increased significantly in the last five years. The increase in cases of diabetes in children is up to 500 percent from the previous.
"Actually we collect data since 2011," said Chairman of the Indonesian Doctors Association Dr dr Aman Bhakti Pulungan SpA (K) FAAP after the launch of Sehati program with WeCare.id and Wardah, in Jakarta. Safe says most cases of diabetes found in children are type 1 diabetes is classified in autoimmune diseases. However, Aman also found that cases of type 2 diabetes are increasingly being found in children.
"We used to think of this type 2 as adult diabetes.Today, I just got two patients (children) type 2 diabetes," continued Aman.
Type 2 diabetes is a type of diabetes that is more affected by unhealthy lifestyles. Usually, type 2 diabetes occurs in children who get excess sugar and obesity.
This finding is certainly very worrying, considering diabetes can not be cured. To that end, Aman appealed for all parties also involved in efforts to suppress cases of diabetes in children.
"We appreciate what the Minister of Health is doing, but please, this is not just the job of health people," Aman explained.
Safe says each party can make every effort to prevent diabetes in children. For example, the Ministry of Education can intervene to make school children do more physical activity.
Safe says children need to do physical activity for at least an hour per day. This physical activity can be either walking or riding a bike, playing ball to catch a kite. "Anything, the physical moves," Aman said.
On the other hand, the family also plays an important role in preventing diabetes in children. Safe assessing parents need to apply a healthy lifestyle so that their children are accustomed to healthy living and avoid the risk of diabetes.
"Parents, come back healthy life.The kid must move," Aman said.
