What Causes Type 2 Diabetes and How to Prevent It


Comprehending Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes is one of the most prevalent chronic health conditions in the world, affecting millions of adults and even young individuals today. Type 2 diabetes occurs when either the body develops a resistance to insulin, the hormone that regulates blood sugar, or the pancreas does not produce enough insulin to keep blood glucose in a normal range. Consequently, sugar accumulates in the bloodstream instead of being utilized as energy by the cells. Over time, this can lead to dire consequences such as heart disease, damage to the nerves, kidney failure, and loss of eyesight.

Opposed to type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disorder associated primarily with a malfunction of the immune system in the destruction of insulin-secreting beta cells in the pancreas, type 2 diabetes is an illness that is often correlated with lifestyle or environmental influences. Understanding root causes is the first important step toward prevention and management.

Major Causes of Type 2 Diabetes

1. Poor Dietary Choices
Eating a diet high in refined carbohydrates, processed foods, sugary beverages, and unhealthy fats causes you to gain weight and, more importantly, develops a resistance to insulin in the body. An insufficient intake of fiber, and necessary nutrient dense foods, causes alternating deficiencies, which can make your blood sugar spike or plummet, putting excess stress on the pancreas over time.

2. Sedentary Lifestyle
Physical inactivity is a significant risk factor. Regular physical activity will help improve the use of insulin and keep a healthy weight. Being sedentary will add more fat to the abdomen area, which increases the chance of getting metabolic syndrome or diabetes.

3. Obesity and Visceral Fat
If you are morbidly obese, especially in the waistline area, you are considered a higher risk factor. Visceral fat (a type of fat storage around your internal organs) is a chemical that releases the inflammatory element preventing the use of insulin. Even if you lose a small percentage of your body weight, your risk factor will decrease.

4. Genetic Factors
If diabetes runs in your family, there is a higher chance it will run in your family. Genetics alone do not determine your destiny; however, lifestyles will be a significant factor in prevention.

5. Stress and Hormonal Conditions
If there is chronic stress, you may release a hormone called cortisol in the body, which is a major contributor to insulin resistance as it increases blood sugar levels. Stress related to anxiety and sleep, as well as hormonal concerns; such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) will be contributing factors too.

6. Aging and Chronic Medical Conditions
As we get older, our metabolism does slow and therefore; we are less insulin resistant to older... age is another risk factor is chronic medical conditions such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol.

Conclusion

Type 2 diabetes can be largely prevented with habits that are conscious. Your risk of developing this disease can be dramatically reduced through eating a balanced diet, regular light activity or exercise, stress reduction, and early medical treatment. Knowledge concerning the cause of diabetes gives you the power to control your health- not just preventing diabetes by avoiding sugar, but creating habits that will help keep your body as strong as possible and your metabolism as balanced as possible throughout your life.
