The Primary Causes Of Diabetes

Article Category: Medicines and Remedies

Author Name: Kenn Fong

While scientists haven't fully defined the exact causes of diabetes, they do know some of the factors putting people at risk for getting the disease. Since this can be one of the most crippling chronic illnesses if not controlled correctly, it is important to know how to take care of your health to lessen your risk of developing the disease. If you already have diabetes, it is also important to understand everything your doctor does about it so that you can mitigate the disease's effects. What are the causes of diabetes?

The largest group at risk for diabetes are those who have a history of it in their immediate families. Scientists don't know exactly how genetics contributes to the disease, but they have shown that there is a definite genetic link. People with a family history of diabetes are 25-33 percent more likely to end up with it than those who do not have the disease in their family history.

This is especially true for juvenile diabetes. The children most at risk for diabetes have one or both parents who already has the disease, especially if the diabetic parent is the child's mother. An additional risk factor is the onset of gestational diabetes in the mother while pregnant with the child. If the mother was diabetic prior to conception, the risk increases still further.

All women should therefore check their blood sugar frequently during pregnancy. A diabetic woman whose blood sugar is kept under control is far less likely to pass diabetes onto the unborn child than one who suffers from blood sugar being too high or too low during the course of pregnancy.

Scientists around the world are working on isolating the genes that cause diabetes. No single cause has been determined yet, nor has a cure been found. However, research show that diabetes can be properly controlled so that it does not significantly affect your life or the lives of your loved ones. A study funded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases is currently investigating whether treating the diabetic's closest relatives with low doses of insulin or oral diabetes medication can help prevent the onset of the disease.

It is known that the second most important factor besides genetics is what a person eats. Diabetes is often called the "disease of prosperity" because excessive eating is a significant cause of its onset. Over time, eating too much sugar, protein, and fat seems to lead to diabetes.

Chronic overeating overtaxes the pancreas, which is the organ in the body that produces insulin. Eventually, the pancreas shuts down altogether, and insulin stops being produced. This condition rarely occurs in impoverished countries where overeating is not an option for most people.

Genetics and diet are the primary known causes of diabetes. You can't do much about your genes, but if you follow a proper diet and exercise regularly you can lessen your risk of diabetes.
