When it comes to diabetes, the first reaction of most people is always four words: eat too much sugar!
But it's not!
Because the outbreak of diabetes is much more than just eating too much sugar. It should be known that diabetes is a disease characterized by an increase in the blood glucose index, and its incidence is mainly related to the serious damage to the function of the islets in the patient's body, insulin resistance and other reasons. Its pathogenesis factors involve many aspects, including genetics, acquired environment and so on.
More than 95% of all diabetics in China have type 2 diabetes. Genetic factors are only a small part of this type of diabetes attack, and more patients are related to acquired environmental factors.
The so-called environmental factors not only refer to the living environment, but also include living and eating habits. In the clinical view, long-term maintenance of unhealthy habits is precisely the real culprit behind the promotion of diabetes.
For example, the following three habits are accelerating the arrival of diabetes, and it may be too late to stay away now:
1. Stay up late for a long time
Staying up late not only affects the next day's living and working state, but also disrupts the body's endocrine balance. In the state of staying up late for a long time, the pituitary gland continues to be in a state of high excitement, prompting the hypothalamus and adrenal glands to function, resulting in the production of a large number of catecholamine hormones, which is one of the murderers of vasospasm and increased blood pressure.
Not only that, catecholamines also inhibit islet function, resulting in insulin secretion disorders, inability to function normally, and then gradually develop insulin resistance, prediabetes, and diabetes. According to the data available in clinical practice, adults sleep less than 6 hours a day, and compared with other people with normal sleep time, their risk of diabetes will increase by as much as 2 times;
2. Excess nutrition
It has to be said that the emergence of diabetes is indeed closely related to diet, but this is not only the patient who eats too much sugar so simple, long-term eating too much, a large number of high-fat, high-calorie, high-carb foods (fried and barbecued, fatty meat and a variety of red meat, cakes and desserts, fine grains, etc.), will affect blood sugar fluctuations, increase the work burden of islets.
Moreover, overnutrition is also the real culprit of obesity. In clinical view, obesity due to excessive eating is the most important environmental factor of type 2 diabetes;
3. Long-term sedentary
This is the most common problem of contemporary people, affected by changes in the work and living environment, Chinese sedentary for a long time, even the average adult sedentary time of more than 8 hours per day. Long-term sedentary, it means that the body fat consumption is reduced, which is easy to cause obesity.
Moreover, sedentary also affects the normal combustion and energy supply of glucose in the body, resulting in a large amount of glucose accumulating in the body, and then developing insulin resistance and diabetes. Because of this, obesity caused by eating too much and reducing physical strength has become the most important risk factor for diabetes.
The emergence of type 2 diabetes is actually closely related to everyone's daily bad living habits and eating habits. Therefore, to prevent type 2 diabetes, all we have to do is eat regularly, exercise actively, and control weight gain.
In addition, regular blood glucose screening is also necessary for people with a family history of diabetes who meet high-risk conditions.
