Cases of children with insulin-dependent (type 1) diabetes are forecast to rise by 70% by 2020.
See Telegraph article

Like type 2 diabetes, often called late-onset diabetes, type 2 diabetes is increasingly being found in young children. Both forms of diabetes are believed to be linked to obesity, and breastfeeding is helpful in reducing the risk of both types of diabetes.

Obesity is caused by salt sensitivity/fluid retention/oedema and can be easily and safely reduced by cutting down on salt/sodium and salty food.

Lose weight, reduce your risk of most cancers, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, heart attack, vascular dementia, stroke, osteopenia, osteoporosis, hypercholesterolaemia, depression, liver and kidney problems, and improve your health in many other ways without drugs, hunger or expense by eating less salt! - Try it!
