Caesarean Babies More Likely To Have Type 1 Diabetes

�New research� reveals that mothers giving birth by Caesarean section have a 20 per cent higher risk of their sister developing Type 1 diabetes in childhood compared to those having natural births, warns star health charity Diabetes UK.


The research examined 20 published studies on children with Type 1 diabetes born by Caesarean segment and establish that in that location was a 20 per cent increase in the risk of babies innate by Caesarean section developing Type 1 diabetes. This could not be explained by other factors such as birth weight, the age of the mother, order of birth, gestational diabetes and whether the baby was breast-fed or not.


On average 24 per cent of pregnancies in England are delivered by Caesarean section, which is importantly higher that the World Health Organisation's recommended rate of 15 per centime.�


Dr Iain Frame, Diabetes UK Director of Research, said: "Not all women have the choice of whether to feature a Caesarean section or not, but those world Health Organization do may wish to take this risk into consideration before choosing to give birthing this way.


"We already know that genetics and childhood infections play a vital role in the development of Type 1 diabetes in children, only the findings of this study indicate that the way a baby is delivered could affect how likely it is to develop this condition subsequently in life. Diabetes UK would receive more research in this area."


Dr Chris Cardwell from Queen's University Belfast led the research. He said: "This study shows a ordered 20 per cent increment in the risk of Type 1 diabetes. It is important to stress that the reason for this is still not understood although it is possible that the Caesarean section itself is responsible for, perhaps because babies born via that method ar first open to bacterium originating from the hospital environment instead than to maternal bacterium.


"Type 1 diabetes in childhood has become much more predominant across Europe recently and the rate of this increase suggests that environmental factors ar the reason. However, contempt much investigation, these existent factors continue largely unsung."


Diabetes is a serious condition that, if non managed, can lead to fatal complications including heart disease, virgule, kidney failure and amputations. There are 2.3 million masses in the UK diagnosed with diabetes and 250,000 with Type 1 diabetes.

Pammie shocks with lewd birthday antics

Pamela Anderson shocked onlookers at her 41st birthday celebrations when she received a cake shaped like female genitals.

The former Baywatch star entertained revellers at a Las Vegas nightclub by erotically licking the cake, shaped like a replica of a vagina.

Anderson spent the evening kissing and cuddling magician Criss Angel, who has also been romantically linked to Cameron Diaz and Britney Spears.

An onlooker said: "Pammie and Criss seemed to be getting on really well. They were making out in a corner for pretty much the whole evening before they moved over to another sofa where they joked and posed for photographers."

The former Baywatch actress was recently reported to have rekindled her relationship with ex-husband Tommy Lee, the father of her two children Brandon and Dylan.

Tommy said last month: "Pamela and the kids have moved back in with me. It’s awesome, man. It’s definitely working. You can tell on the kids’ faces - they’re happy when we’re together. We’ve only given it a try 800 times - 801, here we go!"

Madonna promises Guy country mansion if they split

London (ANI): Queen of pop Madonna has reportedly agreed to hand over her 12 million pounds country mansion to hubby Guy Ritchie if the two ever break up. This, reports suggest, is because while Guy loves shooting and relaxing with his pals at the luxury estate, Madonna no longer wants to be a country gal. A source told the Daily Star that the news are sure to fuel reports that the couple are headed for the divorce courts. "It looks as if Guy and Madonna are dividing up their assets," the source said. "He loves the property and it's very much his retreat. He spends the weekends there while Madonna stays up in town." The singer bought the Wiltshire mansion with its 1,200 acre estate in 2001 for a staggering 8million pounds. The couple is currently in New York, fighting off reports that they are getting a divorce and that Madonna has been having an affair with Yankees baseball star Alex Rodriguez.
