Even after millions of people today being diabetic, the single exact cause of diabetes is not fully known. What we do know in medical science are a few factors that definitly pose increased risk in diabetes cases. They are as follows:
A. Genetic predisposition-
There is overwhelming evidence that your diabetic tendencies are hidden in your genes that you receive from your parents.This is genetic inheritance can be from any one in the family, but the risk is greatest with mother and then father. But there are many cases where parents were unaffected but grandparents passed the diabetic gene to the grandchildren.
B. Blood pressure- High blood pressure has been found to co-relate with diabetic cases, but may not be a cause and effective relationship.
C. Age factor- technically diabetes can be triggered at any age group and some kids may have diabetes from birth if it runs high in family.otherwise risk increases mulityfold after 50 years age.
D. Life style- Lack of exercise and stationary work leads to some of the problems that alter physiological condition of the person.
E. Excessive stress-stress, both physical and mental is known to trigger the genetic tendency for diabetes.
F. Diet factor-excssive intake of refind sugar products are a known evil as is also low consumption of essential fibres and proteins.
G. Diseases- Viral and bacterial infections to pancreas is known to produce diabetic condition.
H. Weight and body fat- Overweight body means more need for supply for insulin. This puts added pressure on pancreas to secret the hormone for breaking down glucose inthe blood. This along with age is relatively more significant factor in disposing the gene for diabetes, due to added related factors of Body mass index and fat percentage.
