People often refer to diabetes as type 2 diabetes. In fact, at present, there is no clear relationship between sugar intake and diabetes, but some studies have found some associations: younger diabetic patients generally prefer to drink sweet drinks.
Strictly speaking, these drinks can make people's taste buds feel sweet, indicating that the sugar content has exceeded 1%. Sugar itself belongs to heat energy substance. If you drink sweet drinks for a long time, it will lead to extra heat energy intake, which will make people fat over time. Obesity is a high risk factor for diabetes. Therefore, it is necessary to control the intake of sugary foods.
So, who are prone to diabetes? The following people are at high risk of diabetes:
1. People over 45 years old and people with family history of diabetes.
2. sedentary people. Because the metabolism of sugar in the body is often associated with exercise, when a person is exercising, the ability of muscle to absorb glucose is particularly strong; If the muscle ingests glucose, the amount of sugar in the blood will decrease. Sedentary people lack exercise, so they are prone to illness.
3. People with short sleep time. Because they often work overtime at night, their bodies are always in a high-intensity working state, and the secretion of glucagon is very strong, such as adrenocortical hormone and adrenaline. These glucagon hormones are secreted more, and blood sugar will naturally exceed the normal level. This kind of people can have more rest and sleep, and their blood sugar can be lowered.
4. Obese people. Obese people often have insulin resistance, which means that the efficiency of glucose intake and utilization decreases, so the body must compensate for the secretion of more insulin to play a role in lowering blood sugar; In addition, the workload of insulin carrying blood sugar will also increase. It is the long-term overload of islet β cells that leads to the impairment of islet function and permanent hyperglycemia in the body, that is, type 2 diabetes.
3. Patients with fatty liver. The prevalence of diabetes in people with fatty liver is 2~3%, and 5% of diabetic patients have fatty liver. Fatty liver here refers to nonalcoholic fatty liver, which is formed because the human body consumes too many calories and the unconsumed energy is hidden in the liver and accumulated for a long time.
4. people with hyperlipidemia and high triglycerides. This can't be separated from China people's dietary preference. Stir-fried and fried food is a frequent visitor on the table, which contains too much edible oil, resulting in high risk of illness.
5. Women with a history of fetal macrosomia. Generally speaking, the birth weight of a child should be controlled at about 3 kg. If the fetus is too big, the risk of diabetes will increase in the future, and the mother is also prone to diabetes.
People should be aware of the importance of regular blood sugar screening, and diabetic patients should pay more attention to the examination of complications.
