After being diagnosed with diabetes, the patient has only one thought: why me? Why is it me?
In fact, there is a reason for the appearance of any disease, and diabetes is no exception! The so-called diabetes is actually a group of metabolic diseases with hyperglycemia as a typical symptom.
It occurs 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.
In a word, it is the disorder of islet function, which eventually causes glucose to be unable to be metabolized and blood sugar to rise.
According to the current clinical data, the following four groups of people The probability of developing diabetes is relatively high:
1. Obesity: Diabetes can be divided into two clinical categories, namely type 1 and type 2 diabetes, /strong>The obese people are precisely the high-risk group for type 2 diabetes.
This is because the fat cells in obese people are enlarged, resulting in a marked reduction in the number of receptors on the cell surface that accept insulin, which also reduces receptors The ability to bind to insulin, which in turn develops into insulin insensitivity, insulin resistance, resulting in diabetes.
Relevant surveys have shown that obese people with diabetes have significantly higher blood glucose and insulin levels than those with normal weight, even 4 times that of the normal population;

2. Family history: Either 1 Type or type 2 diabetes has obvious genetic heterogeneity in clinical, and there is a certain familial tendency.
Among the nearly 120 million diabetic patients in China, 1/4~1/2 have a family history of diabetes, at least More than 60 genetic syndromes may accompany diabetes.
In type 1 diabetes, multiple DNA loci are involved in the pathogenesis, and in type 2 diabetes patients, a variety of clear genes have also been found Mutation;
3. Virus infection : Although there are not many patients with type 1 diabetes, and the clinical effect will basically emphasize the genetic influence.
But type 1 diabetes is not entirely related to genetics. Relevant research investigations have shown that some viral infections can lead to autoimmune reactions;
and destroy insulin beta cells, For example, Coxsackie virus, rubella virus, parotid virus, etc., with abnormal immune system, will also increase the incidence of type 1 diabetes;
4. Long-term sedentary: sedentary for a long time , which means a rapid reduction in physical activity, which is one of the fundamental reasons for obesity.
Not only that, prolonged sitting also reduces the sensitivity of insulin receptors on the cell surface to insulin, leading to insulin resistance.
Also, blood sugar will naturally rise without exercising to burn off excess calories in the body.
Relevant studies even directly pointed out that obesity caused by sedentary and overeating is the main and most dangerous environmental factor for type 2 diabetes.
All in all, the emergence of diabetes is a multifactorial the result of the combined action. Clinically in my country, 90% of diabetic patients belong to the type 2 diabetes type. Although there is a genetic basis, more people develop the disease, which is actually affected by acquired factors. Therefore, if you want to prevent diabetes, you should adjust it from the day after tomorrow.
And there is no shortcut to adjustment. What we can do is to control the weight gain and maintain the weight in a normal state. Controlling weight gain is naturally inseparable from six big words: keep your mouth shut and spread your legs. Only by combining the double changes of life and diet can the risk of developing diabetes be completely reduced in the future and the glycemic index can be maintained at a normal state.
