One person dies of diabetes every hour

Taking Taiwan as an example, the prevalence rate of diabetes among Chinese over the age of 18 is 11.8%, and there are about 2.27 million diabetics in China. Diabetes ranked the fifth among the top ten causes of death in 2016, with 42.4 deaths per 100000 people, equivalent to one death per hour.


Why can you get diabetes?

Insulin can take glucose from the blood into cells, which is used as energy for cell operation.

We can imagine that litchi is glucose, the maiden is insulin, and the imperial concubine is a cell. It is impossible for the imperial concubine to go to the market to buy litchi by herself, so the maiden is responsible for taking the litchi to her.


Insulin brings glucose into the cell

There are two main factors that make glucose unable to enter the cell and remain in the blood, making blood sugar high.


Insufficient insulin supply in the body

When the body's insulin supply is insufficient, glucose can not be used through the insulin supply cells, and retained in the blood, blood sugar will continue to exceed the normal value. Type 1 diabetes is due to the immune system attacking pancreatic cells, resulting in insufficient insulin secretion.


Insulin resistance

Insulin resistance is the abnormal ability of cells to use insulin. Insulin can not effectively metabolize glucose, which leads to glucose retention in the blood, and the kidney can not be completely recovered and remains in the urine.

Because the cells can't get enough energy, the body thinks that it should make more insulin to transport glucose, so it makes insulin day and night. But the problem is that the cells have already low response to insulin, so they still can't get enough energy. Finally, the body will lose weight quickly.

90% of diabetes is caused by insulin resistance, which may be related to excessive fat, heredity and aging.

Insulin resistance leads to the decrease of cell response to insulin

It is said that the imperial concubine (tissue cells) has been fed with a large amount of Litchi (glucose) for a long time. She is not only tired of eating, but also gradually plump. She only feels nausea (insulin resistance) when she sees litchi sent to her again.

The emperor only saw lychees piled up in the whole Treasury. He thought it was because the palace maids (insulin) were not enough to carry the litchi. He was afraid that the imperial concubine would be hungry, so he recruited more maidens (insulin) to transport litchi to the palace. However, if the imperial concubine didn't want to eat, she would not have to swallow one or two of them. So even though there were many maids and many lychees in the palace, the imperial concubine did The body is losing weight


Diabetic symptoms

Diabetes symptoms:three more, less, more food, more drink, more urine, weight loss

Eat more

Drink more

Polyuria

Weight loss


In addition, the following symptoms may occur in diabetes:

Easy to feel tired, limb weakness, paralysis

Itching of skin and sexual organs

Visual deterioration

Lower resistance, skin lesions, poor wound healing ability


However, there are usually no symptoms in the early stage of diabetes. Nearly one-third of people do not know that they are ill. Therefore, regular health examination is necessary to detect diabetes as soon as possible.


Why do diabetic patients eat a lot, drink a lot or feel hungry and thirsty?

Even if patients with diabetes eat a lot of food, but because of the poor response of insulin to cells, glucose can not be used by cells, so patients will still feel hungry.

In addition, because of the sugar in the urine, resulting in osmotic diuresis. When the urine volume is not normal increase, the body's water will accelerate the loss, and cause thirst. Therefore, if the blood sugar does not drop down, there will be continued thirst phenomenon.


High risk group of diabetes mellitus

In addition to genetic factors, lifestyle also has a great influence on diabetes. Carefully examine the following high-risk groups, which can be avoided at ordinary times?

High risk groups for diabetes include hyperlipidemia or hypertension


Smoking and drinking

Nicotine in cigarettes can inhibit insulin secretion and increase blood sugar. Drinking on an empty stomach may cause hypoglycemia, but drinking after meals may have a high blood sugar risk.

Women with gestational diabetes mellitus

Between 15% and 50% of women with a history of the disease will develop type 2 diabetes in the future.

pressure

Long term high pressure will make hormone secretion abnormal, hinder insulin operation, and increase the risk of blood sugar rise.

Family history

If there is a family history of diabetes, the risk of diabetes will be higher than that of ordinary people.

Over 40 years old

This is the age of type 2 diabetes.

Hypertension, hyperlipidemia

If you prefer heavy taste and like big fish and meat, the concentration of good cholesterol "high density cholesterol (HDL-C)" in the blood will decrease, and the bad cholesterol "low density cholesterol (LDL-C)" will increase. It will not only bring about diseases such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia, but also cause diabetes.

Overweight, lack of exercise

Obesity reduces the ability of cells to use insulin (insulin resistance) and increases blood glucose concentration.

The employees of the factory would suffer from nausea, vomiting, dizziness and even fainting on weekdays. However, after Tuesday, these symptoms gradually disappeared.
