With 830,000 people dying every year from complications of diabetes, what causes diabetes?

Diabetes is a disease that everyone is familiar with, and the incidence of diabetes is increasing year by year, and severe diabetes can cause a series of complications.

It is reported that nearly 830,000 people die each year from complications of diabetes, and the number of deaths from diabetes has now surpassed cancer.

The number one killer of lung cancer.

So, what are the causes of diabetes?

1. Diabetes has susceptibility genetics, such as a family history of diabetes, the probability of the next generation suffering from diabetes is higher than that of the general population. Therefore, if you have a family history of diabetes, you must have regular check-ups and take preventive measures to reduce the occurrence of diabetes as much as possible.

Second, a high-sugar diet is also easy to cause diabetes, when the human body consumes too much sugar, it is easy to increase blood sugar, and when the blood sugar rise is uncontrollable, diabetes will be induced. Therefore, it is important to control sugar intake and not to overdo it, so as not to cause blood sugar to rise.

3. Obesity is the cause of type 2 diabetes.

A common factor is that a high-fat diet can increase obesity, usually obese people mainly consume too many high-fat foods, and obese people because of insulin.

Poor metabolic function and inability to better decompose sugar, thus inducing diabetes, therefore, obese people avoid overnutrition, exercise actively, and control their weight.

4. Autoimmune diseases.

It is also a trigger for diabetes, especially with thyroiditis and myasthenia gravis.

Autoimmune diseases such as pernicious anemia are more likely to cause diabetes. Viral infection can also disrupt the autoimmune response, and under the action of viruses and antibodies, insulin will be further destroyed in large quantities, resulting in weakened insulin secretion and thus inducing diabetes.

There are many predisposing factors for diabetes, no matter what the cause of diabetes is, it must be paid attention to. Exercise more to enhance your physique, improve your immunity, and control your weight. In terms of diet, it is necessary to focus on light, pay attention to a low-sugar diet, and patients with diabetes must regularly monitor their blood sugar and keep abreast of their blood sugar.

Diabetes is mainly caused by an unhealthy diet, coupled with abnormal insulin function. If you have diabetes, you should accept it as soon as possible**.

There are two reasons, the first is that the islets in the body cannot secrete so much insulin after eating too much sugar, and the second is that there is a problem with the organ of the pancreatic islets.

The occurrence of diabetic complications will bring great harm to patients, so patients should pay attention to the harm caused by complications to patients, especially patients who will lead to death. Let the experts answer it below.

Complications of diabetes mellitus are divided into acute complications and chronic complications, with acute complications of infection and diabetic ketoacidosis being the most common. Chronic complications refer to macrovascular complications, microvascular complications, and neurological complications. Macrovascular complications include cerebrovascular accident, coronary heart disease, and necrosis of the foot due to vascular mutiny of the lower extremities.

Microvascular complications mainly affect the kidneys and retinal blood vessels, resulting in poor kidney function and poor vision.

Diabetic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications, in addition to the clinical manifestations of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, there are also diabetic heart disease, and patients with diabetic heart disease often appear:

Breath tachykinesis: the vagus nerve is often involved in the early stage of diabetes, and the sympathetic nerve is in a relatively excited state, so the heart rate often tends to increase, and this kind of rapid heart rate is often relatively fixed, and it is not easily affected by various conditioned reflexes, which is manifested as little difference in heart rate during activity, deep breathing, and weakened acceleration reflex of heart rate when standing up quickly from a recumbent position.

Sudden death: Occasionally, various stress factors can cause severe arrhythmia and even sudden death.

Myocardial infarction: Diabetic patients often present with myocardial infarction or occult coronary artery disease. **The incidence of myocardial infarction is high, and patients have no obvious chest pain, but only nausea, vomiting, congestive heart failure or irregular heartbeat, and some even only have a feeling of fatigue, so it is easy to miss or misdiagnose.

1. Acute complications of diabetes: diabetic ketoacidosis, diabetic non-ketotic hyperosmolar coma, lactic acidosis, infection, etc.;

2. Chronic complications of diabetes:

1. Macrovascular diseases: cerebral thrombosis, coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, lower limb vascular occlusion - diabetic foot amputation, etc.;

2. Microvascular complications: diabetic nephropathy, diabetic retinopathy;

3. Peripheral neuropathy: numbness of limbs, pinprick pain, cotton stepping sensation, decreased pain and temperature sensation, etc.;

4. Autonomic neuropathy: gastroparesis - anorexia, nausea and vomiting, intractable diarrhea, impotence, etc.

3. Diabetic ketoacidosis, diabetic non-ketotic hyperosmolar coma, lactic acidosis, infection, diabetic nephropathy, stroke, coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, etc. can be fatal.

Therefore, it is very important to prevent and treat diabetes. In life, we must do: early prevention, early diagnosis, early **, long persistence, diligent monitoring, systematic learning, comprehensive mastery, scientific diet, balanced nutrition, meat and vegetarian matching, less salt and less oil, eat more vegetables, avoid smoking and limit alcohol, strengthen exercise, weight control, comprehensive monitoring, blood sugar standards, blood pressure standards, blood lipid standards, blood viscosity standards, microalbumin standards, glycosylated hemoglobin standards.

First, genetic factors.

Genetic factors have long been thought to be the key factors in the development of diabetes, as type 1 diabetes does have a certain large familial agglomeration. Scientific studies have shown that the prevalence of type 1 diabetes in their children is 4% 11%; The prevalence of large familial clusters of type 1 diabetes between siblings was 6% to 11%; Identical twins have 50% agreement on type 1 diabetes.

If some of your extended family members have diabetes, you should be more aware of it. It can be said that obesity is the root of all diseases! Therefore, everyone must not ignore the problem of obesity.

Second, obesity.

Most people with type diabetes are obese, so obesity is undoubtedly another factor in causing diabetes. Obesity will reduce the amount of insulin receptors in the cytoplasm of human fat cytoplasm and muscle tissue, reduce the affinity to insulin glargine, and reduce the sensitivity of cells to insulin glargine, resulting in obstruction of the use of sugar, which will increase blood sugar and cause diabetes. Therefore, if you are gaining weight before the age of 30, it is important to prevent diabetes while paying attention to the three highs.

Third, viral infection.

Feeling Qi is very easy to cause diabetes! Viral infections, in particular, are a key cause of type diabetes. Viral infections can cause pancreatitis, which can lead to insulin deficiency and diabetes.

In addition, viral infection can also aggravate the underlying diabetes and turn it into dominant diabetes. Preventing viral infections is also the main way to isolate diabetes, and there is no need to think that he can bear it when he is young, and many malignant diseases are all moved out.

The incidence of diabetes is significantly higher in large cities than in rural areas, so it is important to eliminate genetic inheritance, which is a cause that we cannot control, and everything else can be prevented by paying attention to it. Therefore, the most important thing to prevent diabetes is to cultivate a good lifestyle habit ourselves.

The main culprit of diabetes is the insulin-secreting pancreatic islet cells due to impaired oxidative function, resulting in chronic inflammation, resulting in absolute or relative insufficiency of insulin secretion, resulting in diabetes.

Poor work and rest time, poor eating habits, and genetic factors may be caused by viral infections or obesity.

Before the use of insulin and antibiotics, diabetic ketoacidosis and infection were the leading causes of death from diabetes. Since insulin was first used in clinical practice in 1921 for more than 70 years, the death caused by diabetic coma and infection has decreased dramatically, greatly prolonging the life expectancy of diabetic patients. At the same time, chronic complications based on diabetic arteriosclerosis and microangiopathy have become the main factors affecting the prognosis of diabetes, so the number of patients with disability and death due to chronic complications of diabetes has gradually increased.

Among them, diabetic heart disease (mainly ischemic heart disease), cerebrovascular disease, and kidney disease are the main causes of death from diabetes. There is no national statistics on the causes of death from diabetes in China, but according to the statistics of 174 deaths of diabetics in 1977, 40 cases died of cardiovascular disease, accounting for 23%, 17 cases died of renal failure, and 41 cases died of cerebrovascular disease.

There are all causes of diabetes.

1. Genetic factors.

Usually a considerable number of diabetic patients are almost caused by genetic factors, especially those with a family history of diabetes. If both husband and wife are diabetic, there is a half chance that their child will develop diabetes. If one of the parents has diabetes, although the child will not necessarily get diabetes, but will become a carrier of the diabetes gene, then the prevalence of the child born to him will be relatively large.

2. Bad living habits and other factors.

In addition to genetic factors, the causes of diabetes are caused by the patient's usual bad habits and some other life factors. For example, overwork when you are young, resulting in impaired function, or congenital deficiency and acquired imbalance, or premature aging, and obese people, etc., have excessive fat accumulation in the body, which interferes with the heart, kidneys, lungs, liver and blood vessel disorders. These factors lead to pancreatic failure and insufficient insulin secretion, which can lead to the chance of developing diabetes.

In the end, it is basically dying of diabetes syndrome, which is the four major chronic diseases that threaten human health with hypertension, coronary heart disease and tumors, but in the early stage of hyperglycemia due to the lack of obvious symptoms, it often cannot attract the attention of patients and is not active**. Long-term hyperglycemia causes metabolic disorders of multiple systems throughout the body, leading to macrovascular and microvascular lesions, and serious complications of heart, brain, kidney, eye, nerves, etc., resulting in life-threatening.

Remember to adopt it.

The main causes of death are complications caused by arteriosclerosis caused by diabetes, such as coronary heart disease due to atherosclerosis, diabetic nephropathy, and infections that are difficult to control.

Hello, according to statistics, the vast majority of diabetes mellitus dies first from cardiovascular complications, such as myocardial infarction, severe fatal arrhythmias, cardiac arrest.

Clause. Second, there are many people who die of stroke, which is also commonly known as stroke.

Clause. 3. Death from end-stage diabetic kidney disease, which generally requires dialysis to sustain life. Diabetic patients have poor results even after kidney transplantation, so many people end up dying of diabetic nephropathy.

Clause. Fourth, die from various infections, because diabetic patients have high blood sugar, it is easy to inhibit autoimmune function, and hyperglycemia itself is easy to breed bacteria, the infection may be bacterial infection, tuberculosis infection, fungal infection, or a mixed infection of a variety of bacteria, ** is difficult, the effect is poor, and it is easy to develop septic shock, sepsis and death.

Clause. Fifth, easy to die of cancer, the toxic effect of long-term chronic hyperglycemia in diabetic patients, weakens the body's immune function, and is more likely to occur than the average person, when hyperglycemia is accompanied by cancer, it is often more difficult to do so, and the cancer cells are more resistant to insulin, which makes the difficulty of ** significantly increased, making blood sugar more difficult to control, at this time, the torment of cancer and high blood sugar are difficult to control, and various complications are aggravated. and acute metabolic disorders are also prone to occur, leading to death, which is also a very important cause.

Clause. 6. Diabetic patients are often prone to death from macrovascular and microvascular complications, resulting in disability, such as retinal hemorrhage and retinal detachment caused by microvascular complications. In addition, ulceration of the lower limbs, amputation, and long-term bed rest caused by macrovascular complications are prone to blood vessel embolism and pressure ulcer infection, resulting in death.

Diabetes mellitus is a common and frequent chronic disease with a very high mortality rate. The latest studies show that diabetes and its complications account for 12% of the total mortality rate, second only to heart disease and cancer.

Diabetes can't, and very few people die directly from diabetes itself, and the main reason for the high mortality rate of diabetes is its complications, especially chronic complications. Common causes of death mainly include acute cardiovascular diseases, such as myocardial infarction, heart failure, cerebrovascular diseases, such as cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, renal failure caused by diabetic nephropathy, uremia, diabetic patients with severe ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar coma, and severe infection are also important causes of death in diabetic patients. In addition, diabetes is too strict to reduce blood sugar is also easy to increase mortality, and low blood sugar will increase the risk of heart attack and stroke, so it is important to clearly understand the harm caused by diabetes and its complications will increase the risk of death.

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic endocrine and metabolic disease, and the main cause of death is due to various complications. Common complications of diabetes mellitus are microangiopathy, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic heart disease, ketoacidosis, hypotonic coma, etc.
