3. Diabetes
Children who are born with PWS are more likely to develop type II diabetes, and in many cases the symptom can even be picked up shortly after birth; this can lead to a lot of necessary adaptations to diet in order to reduce the risk of further health complications that might override the system, and specialist help is often needed in order to maintain the right diet and life choices to manage this symptom even into adulthood.
Diabetes automatically creates a higher risk of strokes, heart attacks and issues related to blood sugar, and needs to be managed more like an entirely separate condition on its own rather than just a symptom of something else alone.
A healthy diet and lifestyle should be combined for the best possible results, and while PWS itself can’t be cured, the symptoms associated with it can be effectively managed with a doctor’s help.
