Every summer is my hardest day, every time I go out and go home, I feel like I have just returned from a catastrophe, and others have gone through a catastrophe, and I can only sweat and pant all I can.
I think this is also because of my fat, no way, I have been fat since I was a child, and the men in our family seem to have obesity genes, grandpa, father, uncle, and me, all of whom are called "fat boys" in other people's mouths.
During that time, I found myself always having a terrible dry mouth, and no matter how much I drank water, that feeling of dry mouth always lingered. I started to think it was just too hot and my body was dehydrated, so I didn't pay much attention to it.
Gradually, however, I began to notice that something was wrong. In addition to dry mouth, I also found that I had lost weight! What a surprising change!
But I ate a lot and didn't exercise, but my weight kept dropping. Sometimes, even though I had just finished eating, it didn't take long for me to get hungry again. After the surprise, these inexplicable changes made me feel uneasy.
I started to get a little worried, so I looked up the symptoms on the Internet and it turned out to be similar to the symptoms of diabetes. I thought to myself, I can't really get diabetes, I'm not even forty years old!
So, I decided to go to the hospital for a check-up. After a series of tedious tests and tests, the doctor told me a piece of news that I couldn't accept: I did have diabetes.
When I heard the news, I was stunned. How is that possible? Because even though I'm busy with work, I don't eat much. The doctor explained that the occurrence of diabetes is related to a variety of factors, including genetics, poor lifestyle habits, eating habits, etc., especially for obese people, the probability of diabetes is higher than that of ordinary people.
It dawned on me that my fat had not only caused me physical damage, but also brought a serious threat to my health.
Obese people are more likely to develop diabetes!
Decreased insulin sensitivity: Obese people have increased fat cell size, resulting in a lower density of insulin receptors on fat cells, which reduces insulin sensitivity. This means that the body needs more insulin to lower blood sugar, but obese people often can't produce enough insulin, or their bodies can't use insulin effectively. This condition is known as insulin resistance and is a key factor in the development of diabetes.
Increased risk of elevated blood sugar: Obese people have slower glucose metabolism due to physical inactivity and reduced physical activity, which makes blood sugar more likely to rise. Lack of physical activity and physical activity can lead to reduced utilization of sugar by muscle and fat tissue, which can further increase blood sugar levels.
Elevated blood viscosity: Obese people often have both hypertension and hyperlipidemia, and blood viscosity is also high. This may be related to increased levels of cholesterol, triglycerides and fibrinogen in the blood, which are responsible for arteriosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, and increased risk of diabetes.
In addition, excessive weight accumulation can lead to abnormal body function and systemic metabolic disorders, ultimately increasing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. For example, a study in the United States showed that women who gained an average weight of more than 4.5 kilograms per year on average over a 20-year follow-up had a more than 75% higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes than those who did not gain weight. Similarly, data from the European childhood obesity cohort study suggest that obesity in adolescence has a long-term impact on the risk of developing type 2 diabetes in the future.
Therefore, weight control is essential for the prevention and treatment of diabetes. Obese people should pay attention to a reasonable diet, moderate exercise, and maintain a healthy lifestyle to prevent the occurrence of obesity and diabetes. If you already have diabetes, aggressive weight control can also help control the progression of the condition.
