Most parents already know to look for the much-lauded ones, like rolling over and walking.

It is not related to obesity and is caused when the body cannot make insulin, which converts sugar from food into energy. People with Type 1 must take insulin daily and regulate their blood-sugar levels.Snacking and overeating can increase blood-sugar levels; physical activity can lower them. While TV-viewing is often accompanied by snacking, the researchers didn't examine diet or physical activity.The study results "suggest that encouraging children with Type</description><pubDate>Tue, 29 May 2007 21:40:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Report: 'Pillow angel' surgery broke law</title><link>http://www.cnn.com/2007/HEALTH/05/08/ashley.ruling/index.html</link><guid>http://www.cnn.com/2007/HEALTH/05/08/ashley.ruling/index.html</guid><description>A hospital that performed a controversial procedure that stunted the growth and sexual development of a profoundly disabled child violated Washington state law by sterilizing her, according to an investigative report released Tuesday.</description><pubDate>Tue, 08 May 2007 17:26:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Fight over baby's life support divides ethicists</title><link>http://www.cnn.com/2007/HEALTH/04/25/baby.emilio/index.html</link><guid>http://www.cnn.com/2007/HEALTH/04/25/baby.emilio/index.html</guid><description>When Emilio Gonzales lies in his mother's arms, sometimes he'll make a facial expression that his mother says is a smile.</description><pubDate>Wed, 25 Apr 2007 13:33:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Doc shares birthmark basics</title><link>http://www.cnn.com/2007/HEALTH/conditions/04/02/hm.birthmark.qa/index.html</link><guid>http://www.cnn.com/2007/HEALTH/conditions/04/02/hm.birthmark.qa/index.html</guid><description>Birthmarks are often referred to as stork bites or angel kisses.
