With diabetes being so prevalent, how many factors can actually trigger it?
The cause of diabetes is very complex, involving many aspects, the most common is the genetic cause, that is to say, with diabetes drama family aggregation of people is the focus of the high incidence of the group, of course, this kind of people if in the absence of exposure to the cause of the situation, will not develop, the following on the causes of diabetes is introduced specifically:
1. Genetic and physical factors Epidemiological studies have found that diabetes has a racial and family genetic susceptibility. If both parents are diabetics, about 5% of their children in the second generation will suffer from diabetes; if only one of the two parents suffer from diabetes, the chances of the children of the generation with diabetes are even less, and is often intergenerational. According to the survey, type 2 diabetes patients genetic factors account for more than 90%. Diabetic twins have a higher probability of developing diabetes.
The Ling Shu of the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine - The Five Changes states that "those who are vulnerable to all five organs are good at curing disease (thirst)". It is believed that the onset of diabetes is related to a person's physique. The following 4 types of people are prone to diabetes. That is: gastric yang exuberance, i.e., usually hyperphagia, constipation tendency of the Yangming people; Shaoyang yang depression, i.e., usually depressed personality of the Shaoyang people; liver yang exuberance, i.e., usually anxious and irritable people of the syncopated yin; renal yang insufficiency, i.e., the body of the thin, long, active thinking of the Shaoyin people.
2. Diet and obesity factors Diabetic patients, especially those with type 2 diabetes, are associated with long-term high-sugar, high-fat diets, low physical activity, and physical obesity. If a person is obese, fat accumulates in the cells, reducing the sensitivity of tissue cells to insulin, so that blood glucose rises. Chinese medicine believes that: "dietary disorders, alcohol and wine, fat and sweet and salty, excessive damage to the spleen and stomach, resulting in the spleen and stomach transportation and transformation failure, brewing internal heat, the knot of dryness, elimination of cereal consumption, hair for thirst." The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine - Su Wen Qi Disease Theory states, "Consumption and thirst is caused by over-eating sweetness, beauty and fatness." "Consumption and thirst is a common disease among fat and noble people."
3. Viral infections and autoimmune factors, including enterovirus, coxsackie B4 virus, mumps, encephalitis, myocarditis, etc., will destroy human pancreatic islet cells, so that the human body's immune system is out of control, resulting in reduced function of pancreatic islet B cells, leading to diabetes.
4. Emotional and psychoneurological factors Modern medicine believes that: mental tension, emotional excitement, psychological stress and sudden trauma, etc., will cause a series of insulin antagonist hormone secretion, so that the blood glucose rises. Chinese medicine also believes that: emotional disorders, the five will be too extreme, depression and fire, consumption of fluid, resulting in yin deficiency and hyperactivity, triggering thirst.
5. Alcohol and color factors and chemical drugs Drinking alcohol is a risk factor for diabetes. Excessive lust will hurt kidney essence. Some people in order to improve sexual desire, indiscriminate service warm dry aphrodisiacs, resulting in body disorders, dry heat, Yin Jin loss, causing thirst. Wine, color on the prevention and treatment of diabetes are very unfavorable. In addition, long-term use of glucocorticoid hormones, diuretics, antihypertensive drugs, sodium phenytoin, excitotoxic drugs and other chemical drugs, causing glucose intolerance, can also lead to diabetes.
6. Diseases of pancreas Pancreatitis, pancreatic adenoma, total or half resection of pancreas cause relative insufficiency of insulin and lead to diabetes mellitus. In addition, endocrine system diseases and dysfunctions such as pituitary hyperfunction and adrenocortical hyperfunction can counteract the secretion of insulin and offset the effect of insulin, and diabetes mellitus can also occur.
7. Pregnancy During pregnancy, the body's need for insulin increases due to physiological changes, resulting in a relative insulin deficiency that can cause diabetes. If properly controlled, the prognosis is good.
The causes of diabetes are often not a single, it should be noted that patients with diabetes should pay attention to prevention as the main focus, and to master the focus on prevention, such as obese people should pay attention to ensure that a moderate amount of exercise, so that the case, can consume the body fat, can play a role in the prevention of diabetes.

China's diabetic population has more than 100 million people, not counting the high-risk groups and pre-diabetic people, and the sick people are getting younger and younger, often seen in the wards around 30 young man got diabetes, why there are so many people with diabetes, is it your genes, or other reasons, which factors can increase your risk of developing diabetes? What are the factors that increase your risk of developing diabetes and how can you prevent it?
Your development of diabetes depends on risk factors, there are genetic factors and factors in your life, these risk factors include:
1. Have pre-existing diabetes, which means your blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not enough to be called diabetes.
2, overweight or obesity, specifically have to look at the indicators to know whether you are overweight or obese, look at your BMI value, body mass index (BMI) = weight (kg) ÷ height 2 (m) normal: 18.5-23.9, overweight: 24-27, obese: 28-32.
3. Age above 45 years increases the risk of developing diabetes, but this is a factor we cannot change.
4. Family history of diabetes, that is, if you have someone in your family who has had diabetes, then you are more likely to have diabetes than others.
5. People with high blood pressure or a history of heart disease or stroke.
6. Those with low levels of HDL (good) cholesterol or high levels of triglycerides.
7. History of gestational diabetes.
8. People who are depressed or more negative.
9. Have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
10. Other factors, such as those who cannot control their mouths and legs.
If you don't want to develop diabetes, you should make sure that you get at least half an hour of resistance aerobic exercise every day, and you should try to make healthy food choices that will help you control your weight and reduce your chances of developing type 2 diabetes. You can choose to eat more vegetables, fruits and grains. Cut out high fat foods such as whole milk, cheese and fried foods. This will help you reduce the amount of fat and calories you consume each day. Increase the number of fiber-rich foods. Fiber regulates your body's digestion and helps control blood sugar levels. Eat heart-healthy fish at least twice a week. Fish can be a good alternative to high-fat meats, for example, cod, tuna and halibut have less total fat, saturated fat and cholesterol than meat and poultry. Consume "good" fats, foods containing monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats can help lower cholesterol levels, these include avocados, almonds, pecans, olive oil and chia seed oil, but don't overdo it as all fats are high in calories.
Introduction:There are really a lot of dangers of diabetes, and diabetes can cause a lot of other diseases, it is really a killer of human health. Now more and more people suffer from diabetes, what exactly can we do to prevent it? Today we will learn about the 5 major risk factors that trigger diabetes, and prevent diabetes from the root cause.
1. Genetic factors
According to the survey, 8.7% of people with positive family history of diabetes mellitus, and about 25% to 50% reported abroad. In recent years, a large number of studies have proved that the internal cause of diabetes in the genetic cause of each other is very sure, regardless of type i diabetes and type II diabetes have obvious genetic factors, the former manifested in the HLA system in the susceptibility to increase the frequency of genes, the latter HLA is negative, but the HLA outside the GLO2-2, the co-dominance of the twin children is more. It must be emphasized that diabetes mellitus is not inheritable in this direction, but only susceptibility is inheritable, but there are also environmental factors that contribute to its development.
2、Overweight
Causes diabetes risk factors are also too obese, because obese people need more insulin to cooperate with the cells on the absorption of sugar, and it happens to be obese people insulin to promote the breakdown of sugar metabolism function is worse, so obese people are more likely to develop diabetes.
3. Life factors
Lifestyle factors can also cause diabetes. Overindulgence and excessive sex can lead to impaired function, while excessive alcohol consumption can damage the liver, excessive fatigue at work and mental overstimulation can lead to pancreatic injury and cause diabetes.
4. Insulin and glucagon
Current research suggests that the pathogenesis of hyperglycemia in diabetes mellitus is not only due to the relative or absolute insufficiency of insulin, but at the same time there must be a relative or absolute excess of glucagon. In normal people, glucagon is inhibited when blood glucose is too high, but in diabetic patients it is not inhibited, especially in ketoacidosis, glucagon is 2-4 times higher than the normal basal value, so it is believed that when there is a sufficient amount of endogenous or exogenous glucagon is present, regardless of insulin levels, hyperglycemia can occur.
