One person dies of diabetes every 55 minutes. Are you the top 10 constitutions that are prone to diabetes?

 

Diabetes is one of the ten leading causes of death in Taiwan. Nearly 10,000 people die from diabetes each year. According to the National Health Administration, there are more than 2 million people with diabetes in the country. On average, 1 person died of diabetes every 55 minutes, and every year The rate of 25,000 people continues to increase. The relatives, colleagues, friends or ourselves around us may be diabetic patients, from young to old, so what kind of physique and habits are prone to diabetes?

1. People over the age of 40: Because the pancreas organs will age and degenerate, the secretion of insulin will decrease, and the function of insulin will also become poor, or when the insulin action is abnormal, the blood glucose concentration in the body will be too high, making people over 40 years old The chance of developing diabetes increases. It is recommended to check every year after 40 years old, which is very important for early detection of diabetes.

2. Those with a family history of diabetes: a family history of diabetes is one of the parents or siblings in the family. Children born to diabetic parents have an earlier age of onset of diabetes than children born to non-diabetic parents, and mothers have a higher genetic predisposition to diabetes than fathers. According to statistics, 1/3 of the offspring of patients with type 2 diabetes have diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance; while their parents have type 2 diabetes, it is estimated that when their offspring are 60 years old, the incidence of diabetes is about 50%, and another 12% have diabetes. The phenomenon of reduced tolerance.

3. Diet problems: Diet will cause the body's blood sugar to fluctuate. If the food you eat is easily converted into glucose, such as sweet food, high-calorie diet or high-glycemic diet, or eating habits that cause blood sugar fluctuations, it will be responsible for sending blood sugar to cells. Insulin is also unstable. After a long period of time, insulin resistance will occur, that is, the body's ability to process glucose is impaired, causing diabetes. Those with the following eating habits should pay attention!

- Often skip breakfast, or often eat dinner very late. Irregular meals can easily cause blood sugar ups and downs.

- Like to eat cakes, biscuits and other sweets or drink very sweet drinks.

- Like to eat fatty meat and fried foods.

- I like the way of eating rice with soy sauce or rice with braised pork or lu meat.

- Like to eat bibimbap with oily vegetable soup or eat rice with soup,

- Like to eat high-starch staple foods such as white rice, white steamed buns or white bread, and eat more staple foods than vegetables.

- I like to empty the leftovers; I often feed my stomach to clean up the leftovers of my family.

- Eat food very fast; easy to get sleepy, hungry and uncomfortable after a meal.

- Often watch TV and eat snacks.

4. Obesity: Obesity is one of the important risk factors for diabetes (mainly type 2 diabetes). According to research statistics, among long-term obese people, the prevalence of diabetes is four times that of normal people. On the other hand, 80% of people with type 2 diabetes are obese. In addition, people with abdominal obesity are at a much higher risk of diabetes than people with hip obesity. The ratio of waist/hip circumference is directly proportional to the incidence of diabetes (waist circumference ≥90cm for men and waist circumference ≥85cm for women). There are a lot of fat. People with thin and loose limbs and few muscles should be especially careful!

5. High stress: Studies have pointed out that people who have suffered a major impact in their lives have a 60% higher risk of developing diabetes than the average person; and clinically it has been shown that psychological or physical stress and imbalance in work and rest can promote the secretion of stress hormones, such as: Cortisol, glucagon, epinephrine, and norepinephrine cause a surge in blood glucose levels. Pay attention to workers who are engaged in long-term day and night inversions or high-pressure environments and those who sleep for less than 6 hours for a long time.

6. Smoking: Tobacco contains nicotine, which reduces insulin secretion and reduces the ability to regulate blood sugar.

7. Excessive drinking: Long-term excessive drinking will impair liver function, and the liver will indirectly affect blood sugar control and increase the risk of diabetes.

8. I don't like exercise: Long-term lack of exercise, for example, the amount of daily activity is very small, physical fitness is relatively poor, and I feel tired when going upstairs. People who seldom walk and ride or hitchhiker even when they are very close, plus the excess fat and calorie intake, can easily increase their blood sugar levels and form diabetes.

9. Pregnancy: "Gestational diabetes" refers to the phenomenon of high blood sugar when there is no history of diabetes before pregnancy, and its incidence is about 1% to 3%. Hyperglycemia occurs mainly because the mother's body has poor tolerance to carbohydrates, which makes the blood sugar high. The following pregnant women should pay attention!

- Senior pregnant women over 30 years old.

- Pregnant women who are obese, whose weight before pregnancy exceeds 20% of the standard weight, or who blindly increase nutrition after pregnancy, eat too much, do not exercise too much, and gain too much weight.

- Pregnant women who have had gestational diabetes among their immediate family members.

- Pregnant women who have had gestational diabetes during their previous pregnancy.

10. Other characteristics: The typical "three more and one less" is eating more, drinking more, urinating more and weight loss symptoms are an indicator; and clinically, in patients with early diabetes, fatigue symptoms that cannot be relieved after rest are the most common occurrence In addition, people who often catch colds should also pay attention!
