After being diagnosed with diabetes, the patient has only one thought in his heart: Why me? Why me?
In fact, the emergence of any disease is a cause, and diabetes is no exception! The so-called diabetes is actually a group of metabolic diseases with high blood sugar as a typical symptom.
It appears for two reasons, the first is that the patient's pancreas cannot produce enough insulin, and the second is that the cells are not sensitive enough to insulin.
All in all, it is the disorder of islet function that eventually causes glucose to be unable to be metabolized and blood sugar to rise.
According to the current clinical data, the probability of diabetes in the following four groups of people is relatively high:
1. Obesity: Diabetes can be divided into two categories in the clinic, that is, type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and obese people are precisely the high-risk groups of type 2 diabetes.
The reason for this is that the fat cells of obese people increase, resulting in a significant decrease in the number of receptors receiving insulin on the surface of the cells, and at the same time reduce the binding ability of the receptors to insulin, and then develop insulin insensitivity, insulin resistance, and diabetes mellitus appears.
Relevant surveys have shown that obese people with diabetes have significantly higher blood glucose insulin levels than those of normal weight patients, and even 4 times more than normal people;
2. Family history: No matter which type 1 or type 2 diabetes, there is obvious genetic heterogeneity in the clinic, and there is a certain family tendency.
Among the nearly 120 million diabetic patients in mainland China, 1/4 to 1/2 of patients have a family history of diabetes, and at least 60 or more genetic syndromes may appear with diabetes.
In type 1 diabetes, multiple DNA loci are involved in the pathogenesis process, and in patients with type 2 diabetes, a variety of well-defined genetic mutations have been found;
3. Viral infection: Although there are not many patients with type 1 diabetes, and the clinical practice will basically emphasize the genetic influence.
However, the onset of type 1 diabetes is not entirely related to genetics. Relevant research investigations have shown that after certain viral infections, they can cause an autoimmune reaction;
And cause damage to insulin β cells, such as coxsackie virus, rubella virus, parotid virus, etc., there are immune system abnormalities, but also increase the incidence of type 1 diabetes;
4, long-term sedentary: sedentary, it means that the amount of exercise is rapidly reduced, it is one of the root causes of obesity.
Not only that, but sitting also reduces the sensitivity of cell surface insulin receptors to insulin, leading to insulin resistance.
Moreover, without exercise to consume excess calories in the body, blood sugar will naturally rise.
Even relevant studies directly pointed out that obesity caused by sedentary and excessive eating is the most important and dangerous environmental factor for the emergence of type 2 diabetes.
All in all, the emergence of diabetes is the result of the joint action of multiple factors. In mainland china, more than 90% of diabetic patients belong to the type 2 diabetes type, although there are genetic genes as the basis, but more people are affected by acquired factors, so if you want to prevent diabetes, you should start from the day after tomorrow to adjust.
There is no shortcut to adjustment, all we can do is control weight gain and keep weight in a normal state. Controlling weight gain is naturally inseparable from six big words: control your mouth and open your legs. Only by combining the dual changes of life and diet can the risk of diabetes in the future be completely reduced and the glycemic index kept in a normal state.
