What causes type 2 diabetes

The latest data shows that at present, the number of diabetes patients in China has reached 233 million, and there is one diabetes patient in every six people. Among these patients, 90% belong to type 2 diabetes. So, what causes type 2 diabetes? This problem is troubling more and more people.

What causes type I and type 2 diabetes?

From the medical point of view, type 2 diabetes is mainly caused by the combined effect of genetic factors and environmental factors.

1. Genetic factors:

If there are diabetes patients in the family, the risk of disease will increase significantly. Research shows that if one of the parents has type 2 diabetes, the risk of the children is 10% -20%; If both parents are sick, the risk can increase to 30% -50%. However, genetics is not the only determining factor, and individuals carrying susceptibility genes can still significantly reduce their risk of disease through health management.

2. Environmental incentives

In modern life, obesity caused by high fat, high sugar and other high calorie diets, smoking and drinking, and lack of exercise, especially belly obesity, will increase the probability of suffering from type 2 diabetes by more than four times. These factors collectively lead to insulin resistance - a decrease in the body's sensitivity to insulin, ultimately resulting in elevated blood sugar levels.

3. Age factor:

As age increases, pancreatic beta cell function gradually declines and insulin secretion decreases. At the same time, metabolic diseases such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia often go hand in hand with type 2 diabetes, forming a vicious circle.

Secondly, take a look at scientific blood sugar reduction!

1. Lifestyle Intervention - Basic

Dietary Management: Replacing white rice with brown rice and desserts with nuts can delay carbohydrate absorption and stabilize blood sugar. The amount of staple food for each meal should be controlled within the size of one fist.

Exercise and Fitness: Combining aerobic exercise with strength training. At least five days a week, engage in aerobic activities such as brisk walking, swimming, or cycling for half an hour each day to make the body slightly sweaty and the heart beat faster. At the same time, schedule two to three strength training sessions per week, such as using elastic bands, dumbbells, or doing squats and push ups, to increase muscle mass and improve insulin sensitivity. Blood sugar levels should be assessed before exercise to avoid the risk of hypoglycemia.

Weight control: By controlling BMI between 18.5-23.9 kg/m ² through diet and exercise, with waist circumference<2250px for males and<2125px for females, insulin resistance can be significantly reduced.

2. Drug based glycemic control

is crucial for patients who have not responded to simple lifestyle interventions. Among them, Nida ® Metformin hydrochloride sustained-release tablets (Ⅲ) have become the recommended drug for type 2 diabetes because of their unique advantages.

Stable glycemic control: Using controlled release technology, the drug is slowly released in the gastrointestinal tract, maintaining a stable blood concentration for 24 hours and avoiding blood sugar fluctuations;

Convenient medication: only need to take once a day, improve patient compliance, especially suitable for patients who need long-term management, truly achieving "simplified treatment and long-term sugar control";

Gastrointestinal friendly: The sustained-release design reduces drug irritation to the gastric mucosa, and the incidence of adverse reactions such as nausea and diarrhea is significantly lower than that of ordinary tablets.

Therefore, for the question of "what causes type 2 diabetes", the onset of type 2 diabetes is the result of the combined effect of genetics and environment. Although genes cannot be changed, measures such as healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight control can significantly reduce the risk of disease. For diagnosed patients, scientific management (such as rational use of Nida) ® Metformin hydrochloride sustained-release tablets (III) can effectively control the condition.
