Main causes of diabetes
Genetics: If a father or mother has diabetes in the family, then the risk of children developing it is very high.
Obesity: When there is excess fat in the abdomen, the body cells are reluctant to respond to insulin (this is called insulin resistance). This causes blood sugar to increase.
Lifestyle: A lifestyle without physical activity or exercise is the main cause of diabetes.
Wrong eating habits:
Foods high in sugar such as sweets, sweet drinks, and ice cream.
Sweets made with flour, fried foods.
Fiber-less food.
Stress: Excessive mental stress increases certain hormones in the body, which can increase blood sugar levels.
Lack of sleep: Not getting enough sleep can adversely affect the functioning of insulin.
Age: The risk of diabetes increases after the age of 40.
Main symptoms
Excessive thirst, excessive hunger.
Frequent urination (especially at night).
Sudden fatigue.
Slow healing of wounds.

What can be done?
Exercise: Walk briskly or exercise for at least 30-45 minutes every day.
Diet control: Avoid sweets completely. Include grains, vegetables, and leafy greens in your diet.

Regular testing: People with diabetes should check their sugar levels (Fasting, Post-prandial, HbA1c) at regular intervals and take medications as prescribed by the doctor.
