Diabetes and our lifestyle habits have a lot to do with it. People who usually live irregularly and often stay up late with extra meals are prone to get type 2 diabetes. Obese people who are heavier are prone to get type 2 diabetes. People who are not fat when they are young and get fatter as they get older are more likely to get diabetes than people who have always been fat. People who do not look fat but have a large stomach (abdominal obesity) are also more likely to get diabetes. People whose fathers or mothers have diabetes are more likely to develop diabetes, and people who sit a lot and get little exercise are more likely to develop diabetes. Type 1 diabetes has no obvious pattern and is related to our immune system as well as the environment we live in. It is now believed that type 2 diabetes is influenced by multiple genes and is not caused by one factor alone, but is related to our whole body energy metabolism, age, weight, and long-term nutritional status. While we are all different and no one is immune to disease, a healthy lifestyle is the foundation for preventing all disease. Eat a diet low in oil, salt, and sugar, maintain adequate water intake, get enough sleep, exercise regularly, be in a happy mood, and stay away from tobacco (not just don’t smoke yourself, but don’t spend time with people who do). All these will reduce the occurrence of diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and malignant tumors. We cannot control our genes, but we can control our lifestyle. No health care product can prevent diabetes, and promoting a healthy lifestyle is more effective than taking any health care product.
