I often hear about diabetes but don't know how diabetes is formed, and I don't know how to eat healthy and prevent diabetes in life, so let medical cartoons tell you about the formation process of diabetes.
Diabetes is becoming more and more common now, but there are still many people who think that diabetes is like this:
The sugar that causes trouble in diabetes is not the sugar we eat, but actually the glucose produced by some foods in the body.
When our body produces more glucose than the body needs, there is a hormone that arranges where the glucose goes.
Insulin has a leader called β Cell, who arranges the number of insulin workers reasonably.
Let's take an example: look at how diabetes develops step by step.
The old king next door liked to exercise when he was young and had a regular diet, during which the body consumed more glucose and the work of insulin was relatively relaxed.
Since the working king began to smoke and lack exercise, the body accumulated more glucose, insulin will be busy:
This kind of life has been going on, Lao Wang is getting more and more blessed, and those insulins living in the body are even more bitter:
β cells and insulin are likely to look like this under such a long-term high load of work:
The most common sign of type II diabetes is: three more and one less
First, drink more
Elevated blood sugar leads to an increase in plasma osmolality, which stimulates the thirsty center.
Second, eat more
Insulin strikes (insulin resistance) and glucose in the body cannot be transported properly to the energy zone, resulting in constant hunger pangs.
3. Pee a lot
As a result of insulin resistance, the body can only rely on urine to excrete glucose.
Fourth, fat reduction
In the middle and later stages of diabetes, insulin resistance and damage to β cells make the body unable to use glucose, and the body promotes the breakdown of fat to produce energy.
This condition can generally be type I diabetes. Type I diabetes is generally genetic, developmental, infected, etc., resulting in the body before gaining weight β cells have been killed.
To put it bluntly, gestational diabetes is that there are many pregnancy hormones that hook up with insulin during pregnancy and produce insulin resistance.
Diabetes itself is not terrible, what is terrible is the complications, just listen to the names of those complications are enough for you to drink a pot.
Complications are scary, but they don't occur as long as the amount of blood sugar in the blood drops. The method of lowering blood sugar must be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
