Type 2 diabetes: causes and treatments
As most of us know, diabetes is associated with high blood sugar levels, while type 2 diabetes is associated with insulin resistance. When a person has type 2 diabetes, their body loses the ability to respond to insulin levels. This article focuses on the causes and tips to overcome type 2 diabetes.
What are the causes?
- Vererbungen: Menschen mit Diabetes in der Familienanamnese sind einem höheren Risiko ausgesetzt.
- Geburtsgewicht: Es gibt eine sehr starke Beziehung zwischen Geburtsgewicht und Diabetes. Je niedriger das Geburtsgewicht, desto höher das Risiko.
- Stoffwechselschwankungen: Menschen, die an einem metabolischen Syndrom und Stoffwechselschwankungen leiden, erkranken häufiger an Diabetes Typ 2.
- Fettleibigkeit: Statistiken zeigen, dass Fettleibigkeit die meisten gesundheitlichen Probleme verursacht. Da es die Insulinresistenz unseres Körpers erhöht, ist es wahrscheinlicher, dass übergewichtige Menschen die Krankheit entwickeln.
- Schwangerschaftsdiabetes: Einige Mütter haben irgendwann während der Schwangerschaft Schwangerschaftsdiabetes. Normalerweise gibt es keine erkennbaren Anzeichen, aber denken Sie daran!
Treatment and prevention options:
Genetics plays the most important role in the development of diabetes and this cannot be controlled. However, there are other things in your environment and personal routines that will definitely help you reduce the risk. Some are listed here:
Exercise:Jogging and fitness play an important role in maintaining health. If you exercise three to four times a week, you will feel great! Most people think that exercise is only for those who want to lose weight. Combine these two concepts and you will see the difference immediately!
Quit smoking:16 to 20 cigarettes per day (as usual in statistics) puts a person at high risk of developing diabetes (among other things). Because smoking reduces the body's ability to develop insulin resistance, blood sugar levels rise immediately after your next cigarette.
Eating nuts:About an ounce or 28 grams of nuts per day will keep your doctor away! It's time to say goodbye to your favorite delicious, calorie-filled chips!
Attract attention:Spread the word about diabetes and let everyone learn how serious it really is. Discuss with community members, local doctors and organize the best awareness event! Marathons, walkathons, game shows…or make a documentary and post it online. Social media is always there to help you promote your cause to reach as many people as possible! Don't forget that trendy promotional gifts like personalized silicone wristbands with a special message will make your event more successful!
If you feel at risk, contact your doctor. The sooner you do this, the better chance you have of staying safe and healthy. Remember that self-treatment is not always perceived as unproblematic!
