Main Reasons for Diabetes
Lifestyle:
Lack of exercise: A lifestyle with little physical activity is the main cause of diabetes.
Overweight: Excess body fat, especially belly fat, interferes with the function of insulin.
Diet:
Excessive consumption of sugar, sweetened beverages, flour, fried foods, and processed foods increases the risk of diabetes.
Genetics:
If parents or close relatives have diabetes, the risk of inheriting it is very high.
Age and condition:
The risk of diabetes increases with age.
Gestational diabetes can develop into diabetes later.
Stress:
Continuous stress can cause hormonal changes in the body and increase blood sugar levels.
Lack of sleep:
Inadequate sleep affects the body’s metabolism and increases insulin resistance.
