Although the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus has not been fully clarified, it is considered to be the result of a combination of multiple factors, including genetic and environmental factors.
Diabetes mellitus is categorized into type 1 diabetes mellitus, type 2 diabetes mellitus, gestational diabetes mellitus and special types of diabetes mellitus.
Type 1 diabetes is mostly an autoimmune disease, and type 2 diabetes is a polygenic hereditary complex disease caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, and is a heterogeneous group of diseases commonly found in family genetics, the elderly, obese people, and people with unhealthy lifestyles. Special type of diabetes is diabetes caused by pancreatic cancer, long-term use of glucocorticoids and other reasons.
Gestational diabetes is caused by changes in hormones and cytokines in the body after pregnancy, and changes in sugar and lipid metabolism. These changes will lead to increased insulin resistance in pregnant women, resulting in a continuous rise in blood glucose levels. Most of the abnormalities in glucose metabolism in gestational diabetes will return to normal after delivery, but the chances of developing type 2 diabetes will increase in the future.
To summarize, the causes of various types of diabetes are different. The pathogenesis of diabetes has not been fully clarified, but it is considered to be the result of a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
If you have diabetes, you need to go to the hospital for treatment, and under the guidance of a specialist, you should manage your diet and exercise, and apply hypoglycemic drugs if necessary.
