Main reasons for diabetes
Insulin resistance:
The main cause of type 2 diabetes is the inability of the body’s insulin-producing cells to transport glucose to the cells, or the pancreas does not produce enough insulin.
Obesity and lack of exercise:
Excessive body fat, especially belly fat, interferes with the function of insulin. Lack of exercise causes blood glucose to build up in the blood without being used.
Genetics:
If your parents or close relatives have diabetes in your family, you are more likely to inherit it.
Unhealthy diet:
Excessive sweets, sugary drinks, processed foods, flour, etc. quickly raise blood sugar levels. This can lead to diabetes over time.
Stress:
Continuous stress produces hormones like ‘cortisol’ in the body. This can cause blood sugar levels to increase.
Pancreatic disorders:
Infections or diseases of the pancreas can affect insulin production.
