NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Babies and toddlers who grow relatively quickly
may have a higher risk of developing type 1 diabetes before adolescence,
according to a new report.


But the role a child's diet and duration of breast-feeding might have in
this link remains unclear, the authors say.


In type 1 diabetes, the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the
body's own insulin-producing cells, meaning patients must take daily
injections of a synthetic version of the hormone for life.
