Diabetes and hypertension: why should we limit sugar in early childhood?
A child’s first 1,000 days can influence the rest of their life. A diet low in sugar in utero and in the first two years, i.e. for 1,000 days from conception, considerably reduces the risk of chronic diseases in adulthood. Published in the journal Science on October 31, the study focuses on the period of sugar rationing introduced in Great Britain from 1942 until September 1953.
Currently, Social Security only reimburses relatively light prostheses: dentures, when all the teeth are missing, and bridges and crowns when it comes to replacing or hiding an isolated tooth. The implants go deeper. While a bridge, for example, simply rests on the surrounding teeth, an implant penetrates the gum.
One million implants each year in France
These implants are currently not reimbursed even though nearly a million will be carried out per year in France in 2023, according to figures from the HAS. However, “the number of people affected by the loss of one or all of their teeth is likely to increase,” underlines the authority, therefore calling for reimbursement in the name of improving access to care.
The HAS, which gives recommendations independently of the government but is often followed by it, also sets a precise course of care in order to combat the excesses of “low-cost” dental centers. If these recommendations are followed, however, the question will arise of the exact extent of the support.

**Interviewer:** Welcome to our health segment! Today, we’re diving into dietary guidelines specifically aimed at managing high blood pressure and diabetes. Joining us is nutritionist Dr. Emily Carter. Thank you for being here, Dr. Carter!
**Dr. Carter:** Thank you for having me! I’m excited to discuss this important topic.
**Interviewer:** To kick things off, you’ve mentioned the importance of fiber in our diets for managing high blood pressure. Can you explain why fiber is so crucial?
**Dr. Carter:** Absolutely! Fiber plays a key role in heart health. It helps reduce cholesterol levels, improve blood sugar control, and promote a healthy weight—all of which are essential for individuals with hypertension and diabetes. Aiming for at least 25 grams of fiber a day can make a significant impact.
**Interviewer:** That’s a solid goal! What are some high-fiber foods people should include in their meals?
**Dr. Carter:** Great question! Foods such as whole grains, fruits like berries and apples, vegetables like broccoli and carrots, and legumes such as beans and lentils are fantastic sources of fiber. Incorporating these into every meal can help achieve that daily fiber goal.
**Interviewer:** Some people might find it challenging to increase their fiber intake. Do you have any tips on how to make it easier?
**Dr. Carter:** Certainly! One tip is to gradually increase fiber in your diet to avoid digestive discomfort. Start by adding a serving of fruit or a handful of nuts to your breakfast, or swap out white rice for brown rice or quinoa at dinner. Cooking legumes into soups or salads is also an easy way to boost fiber intake.
**Interviewer:** That sounds manageable! Switching gears a bit, can you elaborate on the connection between diabetes and hypertension?
**Dr. Carter:** Yes, hypertension is common among individuals with diabetes, primarily due to the impact of high blood sugar on blood vessels. Managing both conditions concurrently is vital, and dietary choices play a significant role in that management.
**Interviewer:** It seems like a comprehensive approach to diet is essential. Would you say there are any foods that should be limited for those with high blood pressure and diabetes?
**Dr. Carter:** Certainly! Foods high in sodium, added sugars, and saturated fats should be limited. Processed foods often fall into this category, so focusing on whole, unprocessed foods is the best approach.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Dr. Carter, for sharing these insights! It’s clear that dietary choices can significantly impact health, especially concerning high blood pressure and diabetes.
**Dr. Carter:** Thank you for having me! Remember, small changes can lead to significant health benefits. Let’s prioritize our health through mindful eating.
**Interviewer:** Absolutely! You’ve been listening to Dr. Emily Carter on the importance of fiber and the right dietary choices for managing blood pressure and diabetes. Stay tuned for more health tips in our next segment!
