    1) Genetic factors.

    Type 1 diabetes is hereditary, and several genetic loci have been identified in recent years that are involved in genetic susceptibility to type 1 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes has a stronger genetic predisposition, generally more than 60%, and some genes for type 2 diabetes have been identified. Family surveys have shown that the prevalence of first-degree relatives with diabetes is 5 21 times higher than that of the general population.

    2) Obesity. Obesity is one of the most important susceptibility factors for type 2 diabetes. There was a positive correlation between body mass index and the occurrence of type 2 diabetes, and central obesity was more closely related to diabetes.

    The prevalence of type 2 diabetes was significantly higher in overweight patients than in non-overweight people in all age groups, with the former being about 3.5 times higher than the latter.

    3) Dietary factors.

    Dietary factors have long been thought to be associated with the development of diabetes, and high-energy diet is an important dietary risk factor for type 2 diabetes. Animal experiments have shown that high-fat diets are associated with the progression of insulin resistance; On the contrary, high dietary fiber intake can reduce the risk of diabetes.

    4) Lack of physical activity.

    A number of factors suggest that physical inactivity increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. According to the 2002 Nutrition and Health Survey of Chinese Residents, the prevalence of diabetes increased by 50% compared with less than 1 hour in those who lived at rest for more than 4 hours a day.

    5) Impaired glucose tolerance.

    Glucose tolerance refers to an intermediate state in which a patient's blood sugar level is between a normal person and diabetes. Impaired glucose tolerance is a high risk factor for type 2 diabetes, with impaired glucose tolerance progressing to diabetes at the time of diagnosis 5 10 years of re-examination.

    6) High blood pressure.

    Many studies have found that people with high blood pressure have a higher risk of developing diabetes than people with normal blood pressure, which may be related to common risk factors.

    7) Viral infection.

    Viruses have long been thought to be the initiators of type 1 diabetes, and viral infections are mainly responsible for the destruction of autoimmune pancreatic islet cells.

    8) Autoimmunity.

    Insulin cell autoantibodies are present in plasma in 90% of new cases of type 1 diabetes. Most scholars believe that diabetes is a chronic disease caused by the destruction of pancreatic islet cells caused by autoimmune mechanisms.

    In addition, early life nutrition and feeding methods, smoking behavior, psychosocial factors, education level, and drug history all have certain significance in the occurrence of diabetes. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes increases with age, with the peak incidence of diabetes in the 50s and 70s.

    Diabetic complications are the leading cause of disability and death in diabetic patients.

    1. Acute complications 1, diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar non-ketotic diabetic coma, etc., can lead to death if not timely;

    2. Infection: patients often have boils, carbuncles and other **purulent infections, urinary tract infections and tuberculosis;

    2. Chronic complications 1. Macrovascular disease: it is the main cause of death from type 2 diabetes, such as hypertension, stroke, coronary heart disease, diabetic foot, etc., which can cause disability and death;

    2. Microvascular lesions:

    diabetic nephropathy, which in turn leads to uremia;

    Diabetic retinopathy, which can lead to fundus hemorrhage and blindness;

    Other: cardiac microangiopathy and myocardial metabolic disorders, which can induce heart failure, arrhythmia, cardiogenic shock and sudden death;

    3. Neuropathy: peripheral nerves are the most common lesions, and motor nerves and autonomic nerves may be involved in the later stage, causing acral paresthesia, muscle atrophy, paralysis, urinary incontinence, etc.;

    4. Other lesions of the eye: in addition to retinopathy, it can also cause macular disease, cataract, glaucoma, refractive changes, iris ciliary lesions, etc.;

    5. Diabetic foot: It can cause foot pain, deep foot ulcers, acral gangrene, etc., and eventually lead to amputation.

    Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease. At present, the incidence of diabetes in China is very high, and long-term hyperglycemia will lead to chronic damage and dysfunction of various tissues, especially the eyes, kidneys, heart, blood vessels, and nerves, and the disability and mortality rate is high.

    Acute complications:

    Diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar nonketotic diabetic coma, and diabetic acidosis are serious acute complications of diabetes mellitus, with extremely high mortality.

    Chronic complications:

    1. Ocular complications: including retinopathy, cataract, glaucoma, etc., among which retinopathy is a diabetic fundus-specific lesion, and the clinical manifestations of ocular complications are mainly blurred vision and even blindness.

    2 Diabetic nephropathy: Diabetes mellitus can damage all structures of the kidneys, and the clinical manifestations are proteinuria, edema, hypertension, azotemia, uremia, etc.

    3. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases: diabetic arteriosclerosis has an early onset and rapid development, and is prone to coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage and other diseases, accounting for more than 70% of the causes of death in diabetic patients.

    4 Neuropathy: Diabetes can affect any part of the nervous system, including peripheral neuropathy, cranial neuropathy, autonomic neuropathy, spinal cord lesions, and infantile neuropathy of the affected mother. Among them, peripheral neuropathy is the most common, and the clinical manifestations are pain, numbness, burning, electric shock, paraesthesia and other paresthesia such as insect crawling and ant walking, as well as weakness, activity disorders, paralysis and other motor abnormalities.

    5 Infection: Diabetes mellitus is very prone to infection, the most common are tuberculosis and**. Oral, urinary, and biliary infections, once diabetic patients have infections, it is best to find a specialist for diagnosis and treatment.

    Answer]: Diabetes mellitus is not the only single disease caused by **, but a complex** syndrome, which is related to genetic, autoimmune and environmental factors. Studies have suggested that type 2 diabetes is a polygenic genetic disease with a more aggressive genetic basis, and nutritional factors, type ** obesity, lack of physical activity and chemical toxicants are all environmental factors for the onset of type 2 diabetes.

    B, cholecystitis generally does not cause diabetes, but if the diabetic patient has uncontrolled cholecystitis for a long time, it can affect his blood sugar control base system.

    As one of the most important disabling and fatal complications of diabetes, although the occurrence of diabetic foot cannot be perfectly prevented, we can reduce the risk of diabetic foot as much as possible through the factors that cause the occurrence of diabetic foot.

    So what are the risk factors for the development of diabetic foot?

    1) Diabetes mellitus lasts for more than 10 years;

    2) long-term poor glycemic control;

    3) Poor hygiene for wearing inappropriate footwear and feet;

    4) past history of foot ulcers;

    5) symptoms of neuropathy (numbness of the feet, decreased or absent sensation of sensation of touch or pain) and (or) ischemic vascular disease (pain or chill in the gastrocnemius muscle caused by exercise);

    6) signs of neuropathy (fever of the feet, no sweating, muscle atrophy, eagle claw-like toes, thickening of pressure points, good pulse, good blood filling) and (or) signs of peripheral vascular lesions (cold feet, shiny thinning, loss of pulse and atrophy of subcutaneous tissues);

    7) other chronic complications of diabetes mellitus (severe renal failure or kidney transplantation, significant retinopathy);

    8) neurological and/or vascular lesions are not severe but there is a severe foot deformity;

    9) Other risk factors (decreased vision, orthopedic problems that affect foot function such as knee, hip or spondyloarthritis, inappropriate footwear and socks;

    10) Personal factors (poor socio-economic conditions, old age or living alone, refusal** and care; smoking, alcoholism, etc.);

    11) Delay in diabetic diagnosis.

    The frequency of follow-up for diabetic foot should depend on the type and extent of the condition.

    For example, patients with plantar ulcers should be re-examined more frequently, which can be done once every 1 to 3 weeks; Patients with sensory loss in the feet can have follow-up visits every 3 months.

    There are two types of diabetes: type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. Diabetes is caused by genetic factors, whereas diabetes is caused by environmental factors.

    These environmental factors include long-term mental anguish, obesity, depression, insomnia throughout the night, overeating, excessive intake of sweets and greasy foods, etc. Those who sit for long periods of time at work are not directly related to diabetes. However, sitting for a long time will reduce the body's immunity, induce various diseases, and easily become a susceptible person to diabetes.

    Therefore, diabetes is not caused by sitting for a long time, but is determined by genetics, work and rest, and diet. In the early days, there were not many diabetics in China.

    Since the beginning of reform and opening up, the people's living standards have improved. They eat, drink, and eat meat on a regular basis every day. Over time, there are more and more people with diabetes.

    Obesity and a resting lifestyle are key factors that lead to diabetes, and a resting lifestyle is one of them. Therefore, it is recommended that diabetic patients should pay attention to reasonable adjustment of dietary structure, reduce the intake of meat and candy, and do not eat too much. In addition, we should also do proper physical exercise.

    Through exercise, we can consume part of the body's energy, maintain the body's energy balance, and adhere to reasonable exercise can also reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. At the same time, diabetic patients should also maintain a healthy psychological state, learn to relieve stress, and actively carry out **, which is of great help to improve the condition.

    In conclusion, although sitting for a long time does not directly induce diabetes, sitting for a long time can increase the likelihood of developing diabetes. Therefore, people who sit for long periods of time to work should exercise properly. Sedentary and Diabetes:

    If you sit for too long, your exercise time will be greatly reduced. Type 2 diabetes is also considered a disease of lack of exercise (body inertia). Not exercising increases the incidence of diabetes, and proper exercise can help prevent diabetes.

    For sedentary people, it is advisable to get up every half hour, such as going to the toilet or drinking water, to break the rhythm of long-term sedentary life.

    Sitting for long periods of time and heart disease: Sitting for long periods of time slows blood circulation and reduces the workload of the heart. Over time, heart function deteriorates, and heart disease can easily occur.

    Especially for people with a high risk of heart disease, such as the elderly and diabetics, it is necessary to avoid sedentary and exercise properly. Sitting for long periods of time and cancer: Sitting for long periods of time increases the risk of cancer.

    According to the American Cancer Society, women who sit for more than 6 hours a day are prone to heart disease and cancer. They were 37% more likely to die early than women who sat for less than 3 hours. Both men and women should be sedentary and exercise properly after waking up.

    Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease, which is caused by the absolute or relative deficiency of insulin secretion, which causes the three major metabolic disorders of sugar, fat and protein, and the inability of a variety of nutrients in the body to be used normally. The main symptoms are increased blood glucose, urine glucose and decreased glucose tolerance, and gradually manifests symptoms such as polydipsia, polyphagia, and polyuria weight loss. Because the symptoms of diabetes are not obvious in the early stage, and it has little impact on daily life and work, more than 60% of patients ignore it silently, and even many patients do not know that they have diabetes, and only find out that they have diabetes when serious complications occur.

    Diabetes mellitus is a disease that seriously affects the health and quality of life of patients and increases the economic burden, and early detection, early diagnosis and early diagnosis are of great significance, so attention should be paid to finding the "clues" of its disease.
