The onset of type-2 diabetes is due to two particular reasons:
- Insulin resistance
- The inability of the pancreas to produce enough insulin to meet the body’s demands
- Although researchers aren’t sure what triggers it and why it happens, some studies believe that unhealthy lifestyle choices are to be blamed.
- Some of the risk factors associated with type-2 diabetes are:
- Being overweight or obese
- Eating processed and unhealthy foods
- Leading a sedentary lifestyle
- Genetic predisposition to diabetes
- Family history
- Ethnicity
- Blood lipid levels
- Age
- Pregnancy-related complications, etc.
Irrespective of the cause, if you notice the early signs of diabetes, it is ideal to seek medical help immediately. Getting an early diagnosis can help you manage the symptoms better.
