In this condition, although the pancreas produces enough insulin, the cells in our body are unable to use that insulin properly. Due to this, blood glucose cannot enter the cells and it accumulates in the blood, causing the sugar level to rise.
Excessive carbohydrates and sweets (High-Carb Diet): The excessive amount of rice, chapati, flour sweets, sugar in tea, bakery sweets, and fast food that we eat every day quickly turns into glucose in the body. When this is consumed continuously, glucose rises in the blood, and the body has to produce more insulin to control it. Over time, this leads to insulin resistance in the cells.
Visceral Fat and Obesity: Weight gain, especially fat accumulation around the stomach (Potbelly), doubles the risk of diabetes. Some chemicals are released from fat cells in the abdomen. These can interfere with the natural function of insulin and lead to diabetes.
Heredity and Genetics: If a parent or sibling has diabetes in the family, the next generation is also more likely to have it. If these genetically predisposed people do not follow a proper diet and lifestyle, they can develop diabetes at a very young age.
Sedentary Lifestyle: In people who sit for hours without any exercise during the day, the muscles use glucose for energy less. During exercise, the muscles can directly absorb glucose from the blood without the help of insulin. Lack of exercise slows down this process.
