You? I? Him? Who is easier to get into diabetes?

As the obesity population growth and an average life expectancy of diabetic population of 2010, China will jump to 80 million to 1 billion people, and the increased trend in patients with younger age. This mammoth reserve army of diabetes if there are you familiar figure?

We easily have diabetes, but glucose is still normal population as diabetes, high risk.

10 factors likely to cause diabetes

* Age over 40 years

Increased risk of diabetes. To this age should have annual check urine glucose, glucose tolerance, blood glucose, blood lipids, blood pressure, which is very important to early detection of diabetes.

* People who have family history of diabetes

Parents, children or siblings who have diabetes, namely family history of diabetes. Type 2 diabetes 1 / 3 of future generations will be manifested as diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance; parents with type 2 diabetes, estimated future generations of 60 years of age, diabetes occur in approximately 50%, 12% with impaired glucose tolerance ; the mother's genetic tendency to diabetes than the father; children of parents with diabetes, diabetes at earlier ages than children of parents without diabetes.

* Obesity

Type 2 diabetes risk was positively correlated with obesity, obesity, longer duration, the more severe the higher the risk of diabetes, especially abdominal obesity (male waist circumference ≥ 90 cm, female waist circumference ≥ 80 cm) in patients 2 greater risk of diabetes.

Items under the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Kun-third-person research has shown that visceral obesity is a cause of type 2 diabetes, one of the most important reason. In general, obese body mass index in adults over 25 only prone to visceral obesity, but 14% of the non-obese Chinese adults, but also with visceral obesity, the Chinese people easily in visceral fat deposits around the product, so more susceptible to type 2 diabetes.

Obesity causes insulin resistance, insulin resistance likely to cause excessive insulin secretion, insulin secretion can not be sustained over a long time, pancreatic islet cells will eventually be overwhelmed by the failure occurred, triggering diabetes.

* Impaired glucose tolerance

Fasting plasma glucose in the 6.1 ~ 6.9 mmol / l or 2-hour postprandial blood glucose in the 7.8 ~ 11.0 mmol / upgraded to "impaired glucose tolerance", China's more than 20 years of age who have more than 5% of impaired glucose tolerance. Without timely intervention, lifestyle changes, "impaired glucose tolerance," who will be the rate of 10% a year into type 2 diabetes, and easily lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

* Fasting plasma glucose level higher than 5.6 mmol / l

* Called metabolic syndrome or insulin resistance syndrome

Is caused by a variety of substances (sugar, fat, protein)-based metabolic disease. Including high weight, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high blood cholesterol, high uric acid, high blood viscosity, hyperinsulinemia, micro-albuminuria, fatty liver 9. If someone has three or more of them can be said that he is the metabolic syndrome. This is not high even if blood sugar is high risk of diabetes.

* Lack of physical activity or a high-calorie diet who

High intake of dietary calories and irrational structure and lack of physical activity, easily lead to obesity and lower insulin sensitivity, can promote diabetes.

* Have had high blood sugar or urine sugar was positive is at risk of diabetes

Such a situation who want to regularly check blood sugar, urine sugar, found to be not normal to take timely measures.

* Birth to more than 8 kg of children with great women

Have relatively large risk of diabetes.

* Birth weight less than 5 kg were

Islet development problems, suffering from metabolic syndrome, diabetes, coronary heart disease, high blood pressure high probability.

Relative to the great difficulty and danger of diabetes cure, so long as the establishment of good habits, to strengthen health awareness and prevention of diabetes is entirely possible.
