Insulin deficiency (Type 1 Diabetes): This is a condition where the body’s immune system mistakenly destroys the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin, resulting in no insulin being produced at all.
Insulin resistance (Type 2 Diabetes): Although the body produces insulin, the cells are unable to use it effectively. Lifestyle mistakes are the main reason for this.
Lifestyle mistakes:
Lack of exercise: Insulin resistance increases when physical activity decreases.
Overweight: Excessive fat accumulation in the body interferes with the function of insulin.
Dietary habits: Regular consumption of excessive sweets, sugary drinks, processed foods, and flour dishes leads to diabetes.
Genetics: If parents or close relatives in the family have diabetes, the risk of developing it is very high.
Stress: Continuous tension increases the levels of certain hormones in the body, which in turn increases blood sugar levels.
Lack of sleep: Lack of proper sleep disrupts the body’s metabolism and affects insulin function.
