In this introductory video, functional‑medicine practitioner Dr. Preeti Nanda Sibal addresses a common parental concern: why their child developed type 1 diabetes. She emphatically states that type 1 diabetes is not caused by parental actions, the child’s diet, or lack of exercise. While acknowledging that genetics and environmental factors play a role, she stresses that these are beyond anyone’s control. Dr. Sibal urges parents to stop blaming themselves or their child, to relax, and to focus on living a healthy, happy life. She invites viewers to submit questions, encourages engagement through likes, shares, and subscriptions, and promises future videos on managing type 1 diabetes.

Hi, this is Dr. Preeti Nanda Sibal. I practice functional medicine in Gurugram, and today I'm going to start a series on type 1 diabetes. A very common question which parents come to me with is, I don't know what we have done that my child has got type 1 diabetes. Talks of hamne aisa kya kiya ki hamare bachche ko type 1 diabetes ho gayi. Ya hamare bachche ne aisa kya kiya ki use type 1 diabetes ho gayi. Type 1 diabetes does not result from anything you have done or your child has done. Please remember, type 1 diabetes does not result from consuming too much sugar, failing to exercise sufficiently, or any other failure that you may imagine, any other thing which has ever crossed your mind thinking, could we do this differently to avoid this diagnosis or disease? Yes, our genes have a role to play in this, our environment has a role to play in this, but those things are not in our control. So please relax, don't blame the child or yourself or anybody else, and let's focus on what is it that we can do today to live a healthy and a happy life. If you have any questions for me, do write to us and I will love to answer those questions on type 1 diabetes. Thank you and have a great day. Like and share and subscribe this video so that any other video I make on type 1 diabetes, you get it.
