There are two types of diabetes: type I and type II. Different causes and treatments. Here are some thoughts on what causes diabetes.
I type
Type 1 diabetes is caused by pancreatic dysfunction. The cause of pancreas malfunction varies from case to case. Although it tends to occur in families, some individuals have diabetes in childhood, and none of these family members have a history of this disease.
In some individuals, their immune system attacks the pancreas and destroys the cells, rendering them useless. In other people with type 1 diabetes, injury or pancreatic surgery can destroy the pancreas so that it can no longer produce insulin.
Type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes are demographically different. Children as young as 2 or 22 years old can be diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Therefore, it is juvenile diabetes, another name for type 1 diabetes. However, older people will develop type 1 diabetes, especially if their pancreas is damaged.
Second category
Type 2 diabetes may also have some genetic factors, but it is not the exact degree of type 1 diabetes. In Type II, the body is resistant to insulin still produced by the pancreas. Or, patients with type 2 diabetes have a normal pancreatic function, but their organs cannot produce enough insulin. Compared with people with a healthy weight and lifestyle, the elderly and overweight people have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
What caused it?
Autoimmune diseases can lead to type 1 diabetes because the body's immune system attacks the pancreas and destroys unexplained cells. There may be other ways to damage the pancreas regardless of age.
Type 2 diabetes can be caused by an unhealthy, sugar-rich diet and a sedentary lifestyle. The pancreas can simply get tired to lower blood sugar in response to the continuous production of sugar in the diet.
Other possible triggers include high blood pressure and stress. Although there is no direct proof of its cause, according to statistics, people with high blood pressure are more likely to develop diabetes than people with normal blood pressure.
Stress as a cause is a similar unproven situation, but health care professionals generally believe that long-term stress relief will increase the risk of diabetes. Sometimes, stress is caused by trauma or emotional disorders, which makes a person more likely to develop diabetes.
