Diabetes is something that can be managed without any other health problems if it is controlled. Including fibrous vegetables in the diet and exercising for 30 minutes every day will help in keeping diabetes at bay. Testing HbA1c at regular intervals will help in understanding the average sugar level of the last three months. If detected early, sugar can be normalized through diet without medication.
Insulin helps convert the glucose in the food we eat into energy. When this process is disrupted, blood sugar increases. The main reasons are as follows:
Obesity and lack of exercise: Weight gain prevents insulin from working properly (Insulin Resistance). Decreased physical activity is the main reason for the increase in diabetes today.
Wrong diet: Consumption of excessively sweetened drinks, flour dishes, and fast food increases blood glucose levels quickly.
Heredity (Genetics): If parents or siblings in the family have diabetes, the risk of developing it is higher.
Mental stress (Stress): When there is severe stress, the hormones produced in the body can cause blood sugar levels to increase.
Pancreatic gland disorders: The destruction of cells in the pancreas that produce insulin causes type-1 diabetes.
