Diabetes is a condition in which the body is unable to produce enough insulin or is unable to use the insulin produced effectively. The main causes are:
Genetics: If a father or mother has diabetes in the family, the risk of it developing in children is very high. Genetic factors play a major role in the risk of diabetes.
Wrong diet: Eating excessive amounts of sweets, starches (Carbohydrates), flour dishes, and fast food increases blood sugar levels. This adversely affects the functioning of the pancreas.
Obesity and lack of exercise: Weight gain and lack of exercise cause insulin resistance. That is, the body does not respond properly to insulin. People with a large belly are especially at risk of diabetes.
Mental stress and insomnia: Excessive stress disrupts the hormonal balance in the body. This can cause blood glucose levels to rise. Lack of proper sleep also disrupts metabolism.
Age and other health problems: The risk of diabetes increases after the age of 40. In addition, people with problems like high blood pressure and PCOD are also more likely to develop diabetes.
