What are the differences between age related diabetes and diabetes?

Introduction: There are hundreds of diseases in the world, affecting people's health, affecting people's average life expectancy, greatly reducing people's average life expectancy, among which diabetes is a disease with the highest incidence rate in China, he has deeply affected the health of our people, and with the difference in age, medical experts have also divided diabetes into elderly diabetes and diabetes. Today, let's take you to understand the difference between diabetes and geriatric diabetes.

1. Diabetes mellitus**.

Nowadays, there is no clear definition of diabetes, different types of diabetes, its first hormone is different, but on the whole, the main reason for diabetes is because of genetic reasons and some environmental reasons, mainly because of the body, the rate of insular cell secretion of insulin may also drop sharply because some cells in the body are not sensitive to insulin, resulting in glucose in the blood can not be better decomposed, thus producing diabetes. Various medical studies have shown that some diabetes is mostly caused by some bad habits in life. <>

2. Dangers and symptoms of diabetes.

The typical symptoms of diabetes are that the body feels weak and weak, and some changes in vision, if there are some wounds on the body, it will also be difficult to heal, and the symptoms of diabetes are difficult to detect in the early stage. Therefore, when it is discovered, it is already a more serious situation. The harm to the kidneys is very serious, and most diabetic patients eventually die due to kidney failure, so when you find that you or others have diabetes symptoms, you should seek medical attention in time to reduce the damage to your body.

3. The difference between diabetes mellitus and senile diabetes.

The main factors of the onset of geriatric diabetes are genetics and some environmental factors and the aging of body functions, they are mainly based on age as a distinguishing point, if you have diabetes before the age of 60, it is an ordinary diabetes, and when you reach the age of 60, it is found that the blood sugar level is elevated, and diagnosed with diabetes, then this belongs to geriatric diabetes.

Etiology, protocol and diabetes management. In the elderly population, type 2 diabetes is the most common. Young people have type 1 or specific diabetes.

There are more types of diabetes in young people. The corresponding ** programs for young and old people are also different. Mitochondrial diabetes** recommends avoiding metformin and requires prompt insulin if blood sugar control is poor**.

Senile diabetes refers to the diabetes of patients over 60 years of age, senile diabetes is almost type 2 diabetes, and type 1 diabetes is rare. Senile diabetes will lead to the occurrence of senile diabetes due to genetic factors, acquired environmental factors, factors with more insulin sources, factors with a decline in basal metabolic rate in the elderly and less activity in the elderly.

The reason why geriatric diabetes occurs is because the physical function of the elderly declines, so there is no way to completely metabolize some sugars in food. In general, diabetes is because there is a problem with the body's insulin, so you must control your insulin, you can control your food, exercise more, and take medicine on time to control diabetes.

Senile diabetes due to genetic factors, acquired environmental factors, the factors of the decline of the basal metabolic rate of the elderly and the factors of less activity of the elderly will lead to the occurrence of senile diabetes, young diabetes is mainly due to diet is not controlled, and the body obesity or the existence of genetic factors are likely to cause, for diabetic patients, it is best to pay attention to the diet in the way of a small number of meals can effectively lower blood sugar, And diabetic patients should pay attention not to eat foods with high sugar content, many fruits contain high sugar, so you must pay special attention before eating.

There is a difference between senile diabetes and young diabetes, senile diabetes refers to diabetes in patients over 60 years old, senile diabetes is almost type 2 diabetes, and type 1 diabetes is rare.

The symptoms of diabetes mellitus in the elderly are relatively insidious, the symptoms of three more and one less are extremely atypical, and the weight loss is relatively fast.

For us, we usually see such a patient in our daily life, they have diabetes, but for such a person, they just can't eat anything sugary, and it is very painful for them. But there are some young people who also get diabetes, which can make them feel like they didn't eat anything when they were younger, and it can be hard for them to bear. A lot of older people get geriatric diabetes because they ate a lot of sugar when they were younger.

In this way, it will also affect their own insulin, so for such problems, we can see that age-related diabetes mainly occurs at the age of 60 or above, and it will continue forever

Diabetes mellitus in older adults.

For such a group of people, it is already non-insulin dependent, so they have no effect on such a needle or some other ** way, so they can only try to control sugar in their daily life, and if they are stained with sugar, they will have all kinds of problems, and it will also affect their own complications in other places. So for diabetes that is not elderly, there must be many commonalities, or there are many differences. <>

Diabetes can develop in young people.

Because for elderly diabetes, there are also many diseases, including some drugs or memory loss, such as the occurrence of some symptoms. However, the rate of diabetes in old age has begun to increase slowly, and its complications are also very high. For diabetes, usually some young people will also have some such symptoms, including some teenagers, if they pay special attention to their daily life.

Or if their physical condition is already getting worse, they will also get such a disease, after all, for such an experience, it has a very big relationship with their usual daily eating habits, so some people like this in their daily life, especially pay attention to their eating habits, so as not to have such a disease.

The reason why the elderly get diabetes is because their physical fitness has declined, so they are intolerant to sugar, so it will be very convenient at the time, as long as the diet is controlled, the diabetes can quickly disappear, and ordinary people get diabetes because of the lack of insulin, so if you want to control diabetes, you need to cooperate with drugs**, you also need to control your diet, and you need to exercise regularly to effectively alleviate it.

There will be a big difference, because diabetes in the elderly will have a great impact on the body, and it will also make the body very weak, but if diabetes is young, it only needs a certain amount of control, and it can be slowly adjusted in the later stage.

Geriatric diabetes is diabetes in the elderly, and now teenagers can get diabetes too. The biggest difference is the age problem, and there is also the physical problem.

The first group of people is completely different, generally elderly diabetes occurs in people over 60 years old, but diabetes is easy to develop both children and middle-aged people.

Diabetes is one of the very common chronic diseases in the elderly, and the prevalence of diabetes among the elderly is as high as 20%. Which elderly people are prone to diabetes, such as the elderly with a family history of diabetes, the elderly with overweight or abdominal obesity, and the elderly with hypertension or hyperlipidemia, are high-risk groups for diabetes. There are also some groups of people who are also at high risk, such as the elderly with a high-calorie diet and significantly reduced physical activity, which is also a risk factor for diabetes.

For such elderly people, doctors should give sufficient education, let them have regular physical examinations, monitor blood sugar, and pay attention to their blood sugar levels. And give enough education, maintain a healthy lifestyle, moderate exercise, control the weight to meet the standard, and do not become obese or overweight. For patients with hypertension or hyperlipidemia, it is necessary to achieve blood pressure and lipid standards, and at the same time, it is necessary to achieve a balanced diet and exercise, so that blood sugar can be controlled at a good level to avoid the risk of diabetes.

Elderly people with high blood pressure, long-term use of diuretics, high mental stress, poor lifestyle habits, and obesity are prone to diabetes.

Because as people get older, people also begin to get older, and at the same time as people get older, various organs in the body also begin to fail, especially the function of people's kidneys begins to decline, which is why the elderly are prone to diabetes.

The incidence of diabetes is getting higher and higher with the increase of age in the elderly, because the function of various organs in the elderly is declining, and the function of the pancreas is also declining with age, so they are prone to diabetes. The elderly are relatively inactive, and some elderly people eat more, which may cause obesity due to excess energy in the body, which will cause insufficient insulin secretion and insulin resistance, which will cause an increase in blood sugar.

The cause of diabetes mellitus is the decrease in physiological function in old age, the decline in organ function, the decrease in guide secretion, and the decrease in pancreatic islet function, so the blood sugar rises, therefore, it can cause senile diabetes.

Diabetes mellitus in the elderly is type 2 diabetes, and it is currently believed that the pathogen of primary diabetes mainly includes genetic and environmental factors, the latter is related to viral infection, autoimmune changes and nutritional factors. **The method is mainly to take diet**, no matter what type of diabetes, the severity of the disease, whether there are complications, you need to control the diet, on this basis, and then consider oral hypoglycemic drugs, every day can be combined with the actual situation of the individual, choose walking, jogging and other activities of different levels.

First, the physical fitness of the elderly is relatively poor, and the resistance is not as good as before.

Second, drugs: Because the elderly may suffer from a variety of chronic diseases at the same time, they may take a variety of drugs, which may affect the body's glucose metabolism and induce diabetes.

Diabetes mellitus in the elderly is more common in type 2 diabetes, which is related to genetic and environmental factors, and fasting blood glucose and postprandial blood sugar can be diagnosed. It is recommended that you see a diabetic department for diagnosis and treatment, strictly control your diet, control your total daily calorie intake, and exercise moderately.

Autoimmunity declines, intestinal factors, central obesity and insulin resistance, and after a certain age, metabolism will be slow, and it will naturally be difficult to distinguish the sugar in food, which will also cause diabetes.

The structure and function of the intestinal microbiota also change, and the intestinal microbiota will interfere with the host's nutrition and energy absorption and utilization, which in turn affects the metabolism of bile acids, promotes fat storage, and can also cause chronic low-grade inflammation, thereby inducing diabetes.

It may be because you often eat some sweet foods, and the food is spicy, or you don't pay attention to rest, and you don't exercise, and your resistance is also reduced a lot, so it causes diabetes.

It is very likely that there is a problem with the immune system, there are some self-antibodies that damage the cells that secrete insulin, genetic problems, obesity and weight problems, less exercise, and higher calorie food.

Modern scientific research suggests that the elderly are susceptible to diabetes for the following reasons:

First, the basal metabolic rate of nuclear ballast decreases, coupled with an unreasonable and unscientific diet.

Second, physical activity decreases.

Thirdly, the aging of pancreatic B cells and the aging of various organs in the body are uncoordinated, the quality and secretion of insulin decrease, and the body's role in eliminating oxygen free radicals decreases.

In short, all organs of the body of the elderly tend to age, and gradually debilitating changes occur, and the damage to the body is more serious on the basis of diabetes, so that the surface is coarsely changed into a complication of various diabetes. In addition, the elderly often have hypertension, hyperlipidemia, high blood viscosity, high uric acid and hyperinsulinemia, etc., all of which can promote the elderly to become a high-risk group of diabetes.

What are the general causes of diabetes in the elderly?

Diabetes is one of the most common chronic non-communicable diseases, and its harm is very great, especially for the elderly, who are susceptible to diabetes. This is the reason why older people are more likely to develop diabetes. Because the older you are, the more obvious the dysfunction of pancreatic B cells, the more likely you are to get diabetes.

Their genes, ethnicity, Chinese, Han, East Asians are susceptible to diabetes, and may also include other diseases such as polycystic ovary syndrome, which are uncontrollable factors.

The controllable factor is that the first in the elderly is prediabetes due to age, the elderly will have a certain amount of glucose tolerance disorder to a greater or lesser extent, and if the prediabetes tolerance is not controlled in time, they will eventually develop diabetes. Obesity causes insulin resistance. This is the direct cause of type 2 diabetes in the elderly.

Other metabolic disorders that cause diabetes, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, fatty liver, hyperuricemia, etc., are collectively referred to as metabolic syndrome, which plays a very important role in the development of diabetes.

The older you get, the worse your body functions, and the more your organs age, including the pancreatic tissue, which produces insulin. Older people are mostly obese, especially those with abdominal obesity, but the insulin receptors per unit area of the hypertrophic fat cell membrane are relatively reduced, and insulin resistance eventually develops. Decreased physical activity, decreased physical activity, decreased glucose utilization and consumption, decreased sensitivity to insulin, and decreased glucose tolerance.

Older people gradually lose muscle, which reduces glucose consumption and reduces insulin sensitivity. Therefore, if the elderly do not want to develop diabetes, there is no way to do it because of age, but they can increase the amount of exercise, change their eating habits, and maintain a normal weight.
