How is diabetes caused? What are the risks to the human body? See early to prevent
The epidemic has been going on for more than a month, and this incident has had a great impact on people's daily lives. At the same time, it has awakened a lot of people to pay attention to their health problems. During the epidemic prevention period, the problem of diabetes should not be ignored as well.
When it comes to diabetes, many people will pop up the question: Is it because they eat too much sugar? Only the elderly can get it, right? There is no denying that eating too many sugary foods may increase the risk of diabetes. But diabetes is not just for the elderly, it is slowly becoming a younger disease. So, what causes diabetes? What are the dangers to the human body?
Diabetes: It is a systemic metabolic disease characterized by chronic hyperglycemia caused by various reasons.
It is mainly caused by defective insulin secretion or insulin action, which leads to disorders of glucose, fat and protein metabolism in the body, thus causing damage to multiple systems.
Pathogenesis.
The etiology and pathogenesis of diabetes are extremely complex and have not been fully understood. In general, a combination of genetic and environmental factors (including aging, lifestyle, lack of exercise, etc.) contribute to the development of diabetes.
There are 3 stages to go through.
Stage 1: the stage of normal glucose tolerance, but with the pathological and physiological changes associated with diabetes already present.
Stage 2: the abnormal glucose tolerance stage (i.e. pre-diabetes), a metabolic state between normoglycemia and diabetes.
Stage 3: The diabetic stage.
Hazards to the body.
The obvious feature of diabetes is high blood sugar, and long-term high blood sugar can bring various hazards to the body, such as
The harm of large blood vessels, like cerebral infarction, heart attack, occlusion of large arteries in lower limbs, etc.
Microvascular hazards, which can lead to retinopathy, causing vision loss or even blindness, and may increase the chance of other eye diseases.
The risk to the kidneys, where long-term damage can lead to large amounts of proteinuria and even uremia.
Harm to the nervous system, commonly known as polyneuritis, where some patients may experience numbness or tingling and other discomfort in the hands and feet, which is the main cause of diabetic foot.
In addition, diabetes is also easily complicated by various bacterial and fungal infections.
How to prevent.
Adopt a good diet, avoid high calorie diet, such as: fried food, red hot food, etc., and try not to jerk off or eat hot pot at night, etc.
