Caesarean Babies More Likely To Have Type 1 Diabetes
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!"
