An Overview of Type 2 Diabetes


 
Health

It is yet to be known how and why some people develop type 2 diabetes and other individuals do not. Well, it is easier to understand that there are some factors that contribute to the risks.

Factors Increasing the Risks of Type 2 Diabetes

Weight: The key risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes is being overweight. Your cells will become more resistant to insulin when you have more fatty tissues.

Fat circulation: Your risk of developing type 2 diabetes becomes more apparent when your body stores fat in abdomen largely. However, the risk is not that severe if your body stores fat somewhere else like in hips and thighs.

Family history: If your parents have this disease, you are supposed to have a threat from this.

Age: The risk of this disease increases with age especially after 45. There is a valid reason behind this. When people get old, they tend to indulge in less physical activities, gain weight and lose muscle mass. Well, it is not that only older people are susceptible to developing this ailment; children, adolescents and younger adults can be at risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Race: It is evident as well that individuals of certain races are more likely to have the risks of developing this disease. These races are blacks, American Indians, Hispanics and Asian-Americans.

Prediabetics: It is a condition in which the glucose level remains higher than normal. But, it does not reach that higher level to be considered type 2 diabetes. However, if you have this condition; you need to get treatment to cure this, or else this will progress to type 2 diabetes.

Gestational diabetes: If anyone develops gestational diabetes during pregnancy, her chances of developing type 2 diabetes increases. In this regard, if a baby is born to her weighing about 4 kilograms, she will be at higher risk of developing this condition.

Complications of type 2 diabetes

When people develop this disease, they do not take care of their health because they feel fine in the early stage. However, if no attention is taken towards treating this condition, major body parts such as kidneys, eyes, heart, and blood vessels will be damaged. So, if you have this condition, you should control your blood sugar level lest you have these complications.

Cardiovascular and blood vessel disease: Blood glucose disease adds to the risk factors of various cardiovascular problems such as heart attack, coronary artery disease, high blood pressure and heart attack. Whereas stroke is concerned, its rate is two to four times higher and the possibility of death is higher as well.

Kidney damage: The kidneys have millions of tiny blood vessels that filter your blood of waste products. And this disease can destroy the delicate filtering system of the kidneys. Once filtering systems fail, it leads to kidney failure. Thus, one may require dialysis or kidney transplant.

Eye damage: The blood vessels of the retina can be damaged, leading to blindness. Alongside, diabetes adds to the other serious visibility conditions such as glaucoma and cataracts.

Foot damage: When there is poor blood flow to the feet and foot nerve gets damaged, it increases the risks of different foot complications. If you do not pay attention to these complications, they can turn into serious infections.

Alzheimer’s disease: The chances of developing Alzheimer’s disease as well as dementia are higher with type 2 diabetes. If you cannot control your blood glucose, you are likely to develop this condition.

What you can do

Checking with your doctor as soon as you are diagnosed with this disease should be your first step. With regard to this, opting for adding a cinnamon supplement with cinnamon extract to your health plan will be helpful in reducing the chances of various risk factors of diabetes.

If you have type 2 diabetes, you always should try to control your blood glucose level to stay healthy.
