What causes diabetes? Is it because you eat too much sugar?

No, diabetes is caused by insulin deficiency, and the blood sugar level is elevated, which is different from the sugar you usually eat.

No! Diabetes mellitus is known in Chinese medicine as thirst-quenching syndrome or polyphagia (i.e. polyphagia, polydipsia and polyuria). Patients often feel dry mouth and thirst, even if they drink water constantly, it will not help.

This dehydration phenomenon is caused by a lack of yin in the body, which refers to the body fluids and fluids in the body. Improper diet is the main cause of kidney yin deficiency. Eating too much high-fat, high-calorie and carbohydrate foods will lead to the accumulation of heat toxins, which will damage the internal organs, and if the internal heat persists, it will dry up.

In addition to body dryness, the body is often weakened due to overwork, which will eventually affect the endocrine system and lead to metabolic disorders. As a result, insulin function is abnormal or secreted insufficiently, resulting in high blood sugar. Sugar flows into the urine, producing the phenomenon of diabetes.

The treatment of diabetes in TCM is to relieve dryness and heat, strengthen the body, and improve the endocrine system. However, no matter what method is adopted, diet is very important for diabetic patients, not only to be modest, avoid fatty and sweet foods, but also know how to absorb balanced nutrition to make the body strong. Although diabetes can't be allocated, moderate exercise, a happy mood, and good lifestyle habits can help alleviate the condition and prevent complications.

No, the mechanism of diabetes is very complex, there are genetic relationships, and there are also acquired factors.

Diabetes is not caused by eating sugar, but by defects in insulin secretion and action caused by the interaction of genetic and environmental factors. If you already have diabetes, you should pay attention to the fact that you should never eat foods high in sugar, and you should control your total intake.

For example, grapes, bananas, lychees, longan, jujubes, cakes, drinks and other foods are very high in sugar, and diabetics are not allowed to eat.

First of all, it is related to water shortage, and it is related to the usual diet, or the relatively high-calorie or high-fat things that are usually eaten, may also be caused by overwork of the body.

It is due to the body's immune system destroying the pancreatic islet B cells that make insulin, and the function of the islets is more or less impaired, resulting in insufficient insulin release.

It may be caused by eating a lot of food, if you eat food that has been left for too long, it is delicious, that is, it is more likely to cause diseases.

1) Obese people are people with a high incidence of diabetes, long-term improper diet, and excessive intake of high-calorie, high-fat foods. The body is in a sub-healthy state for a long time, which causes insulin secretion disorders and can easily cause type 2 diabetes. So if you're overweight, it's important to control it in time and monitor your blood sugar regularly for problems.

2) Staying up late for a long time, irregular work and rest, these conditions will cause blood sugar fluctuations, especially for young people, we should be more vigilant. In recent years, diabetes has gradually developed at a younger age, so it is important to ensure good lifestyle habits, and there may be no obvious symptoms now, but if you continue to indulge, it will only destroy your health. 3) Anger, emotional stress is also a major factor causing diabetes, now people's life pressure is becoming more and more nervous, anxiety and irritability, etc., will cause endocrine metabolism disorders, affecting the normal secretion of insulin.

Diabetes can be caused by insufficient insulin secretion or insulin deficiency, and if these two causes occur, it will easily lead to diabetes. The influence of genetics also has a lot to do with it.

If you eat too much sugar, especially if you consume a lot of sugar at one time, urine sugar will appear in the urine temporarily, but it is not diabetes. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic wasting disease caused by an imbalance of glucose metabolism in the body (caused by endocrine disorders), which causes blood sugar to remain higher than normal and to produce sugar in the urine. It has nothing to do with eating sugar.

When seeing a doctor, people often ask doctors: Can you get diabetes if you eat sugar regularly? To understand this question, the key is what sugar is referred to by this "sugar", whether it is a polysaccharide or a monosaccharide or a disaccharide.

If the "sugar" is polysaccharide carbohydrates, eating more will not cause diabetes. Some scholars have suggested that a high-carbohydrate diet can improve glucose tolerance in the population, which is a beneficial barrier to prevent the development of diabetes. However, if we mean "sugar" by candy, white sugar, brown sugar, rock sugar and other monosaccharides and disaccharides, regular consumption can indeed cause diabetes.

The high prevalence of diabetes in western developed countries is related to the significantly higher consumption of edible sugar. Studies have shown that a large intake of monosaccharides and disaccharides can increase the obesity rate and increase diabetes, and the second will make many patients with hidden diabetes quickly become dominant, thereby increasing the incidence of diabetes, especially in the elderly. It should be emphasized that the elderly are at high risk of diabetes, and the older they are, the more likely they are to develop diabetes.

There are many elderly people who have latent diabetes or mild diabetes, such patients have no obvious symptoms, and blood sugar and urine glucose tests are often normal when fasting. In this case, if a large amount of monosaccharides, disaccharides or glucose are injected, it will quickly evolve into overt diabetes, if you don't pay attention to it, fail to detect and treat it correctly in time, it will further evolve into diabetic hyperosmolar coma, which is life-threatening, so the elderly should try to eat less sugar and sweets.

"Eating sugar" and "diabetes" are two things that are most easily misunderstood as "closely related". In fact, diabetes mellitus is a systemic metabolic disease characterized by "hyperglycemia" as the main feature due to the inability of the body to use the ingested glucose due to the absolute or relative insufficiency of insulin.

Diabetes is not directly related to "eating sugar" per se: if you are healthy, eating more sugar is fine; If you have diabetes, even if you don't eat sweet things like "sugar" and "pastries", even a bowl of rice with steamed buns will make your blood sugar fluctuate ...... a lot

However, it must be pointed out that excessive sugar consumption for a long time will make the pancreas overloaded with insulin secretion, which is easy to induce insulin resistance; In addition, excessive sugar intake can lead to obesity, which is also one of the risk factors for diabetes. It is recommended that the daily intake of added sugars should not exceed 25 grams.

The reason why a normal person's blood sugar can be kept in the normal range is because there is enough insulin to work normally; Diabetic patients have elevated blood sugar because of the relative or absolute insufficiency of insulin in the body, which affects the regulation of blood sugar. Therefore, the statement that "diabetes is due to eating too much sugar" is inaccurate.

In fact, the root cause of the sharp increase in the incidence of diabetes is not that you eat too much sugar, but because of the unreasonable dietary structure, eating too much fat and protein foods, resulting in excessive total calorie intake and an increase in the proportion of obese population, and obesity can produce insulin resistance, leading to diabetes.

It can be seen that there is no sufficient scientific basis for the statement that the cause of diabetes is simply attributed to eating too much sugar (in this case, simple sugars such as monosaccharides and disaccharides), and there is no necessary causal relationship between the two. It is recommended that you exercise more, pay attention to your diet, eat less foods high in sugar, and have a regular lifestyle, so that you can prevent diabetes, and I can recommend several foods to you to prevent diabetes. Pumpkin, bitter gourd, fish (it is recommended to eat fresh, eat 2 times a week, don't eat fish roe, high cholesterol) mushrooms, winter melon, cucumber, spinach, etc., the staple food can eat Dr. Park Youtang Rice, it is a highly resistant starch rice, and the highly resistant starch is not easily converted into glucose.

It's possible, but eating meat is more likely to trigger diabetes.

Not necessarily, it depends on how you eat. But it's better not to eat too much.

Diabetes is a very common chronic disease. The cause of diabetes is because many people now think that it is caused by eating too much sugar, but in fact, there are many middle-aged and elderly friends who rarely eat sugar, or even do not eat sugar, but it will still cause diabetes, and there are many factors that can cause the onset of diabetes.

The occurrence of diabetes is mainly related to genetic and environmental factors. There may be a family history of diabetes. But the other part of the reason, mainly environmental factors, the rapid increase in the incidence rate in our country, in fact, is related to China's economic transformation, people's living standards have improved, and many lifestyle changes are related, such as high-calorie, high-fat intake, but take the car out, go upstairs and take the elevator, the amount of activity has decreased, coupled with the pressure of work, which is equivalent to eating more and moving less, and the number of overweight or obese people has gradually increased.

The most immediate adverse effect of environmental factors is our body's insensitivity to insulin, which is insulin resistance. Insulin is the only hormone in the body that lowers blood sugar in the body. When it is insensitive to hypoglycemia, its blood sugar will rise, and it must desperately secrete insulin to control its blood sugar properly.

But the pancreatic islet B cells are alive and are always in a state of high load secretion, just like a horse pulling a cart, one day they will not be able to pull, at this time, its secretion is reduced, and then the double ** of diabetes is revealed, insulin resistance, plus insulin secretion defects,This is the most important thing about diabetes**.

If it is genetic, it is just a genetic predisposition that determines whether we are likely to develop diabetes, but there are some specific environmental factors that affect him and cause him to develop the disease, so they will affect each other.

One is that there are genetic reasons, and the other is that the secretion of insulin in the body is insufficient, eating sweet for a long time, starch raises blood sugar, and the human body secretes insulin to lower blood sugar. So insulin is the best way to fight the rise in blood sugar**.

There are many causes of diabetes, such as obesity, and genetics is also an important cause.

Not necessarily, there are many ** causes diabetes, and it may also be caused by genetic factors or other external factors.

Many people who get diabetes do not eat too much sugar, but genetics.

It's not because you eat too much sugar, but because you eat too much and don't exercise, you can't digest it, which eventually leads to excretion in the urine.

In fact, diabetes is also a hereditary condition. It is caused by the low secretion of insulin in the body.

Some things are genetic, some are due to obesity, not eating too much sugar.

Statistics show that the number of diabetic patients in China has exceeded 100 million, and there are tens of millions of potential diabetic patients. So, what is the reason for such a high incidence of diabetes?

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.
