Hereditary diabetes, how should I prevent it? To understand this question, we must first understand what diabetes is all about. Diabetes is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by chronic hyperglycemia, which occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin produced, resulting in high blood sugar. It is undeniable that genetic factors (family history of diabetes) are indeed one of the important risk factors for the development of diabetes and can be involved in the onset and development of microvascular and macrovascular complications of diabetes. So diabetes is hereditary, although it is not diabetes itself that is inherited, but the genes that predispose to it. Let’s take a look at the data from the American Diabetes Association (ADA) on the heritability of diabetes. According to the data in the chart below, we can even see that a child born to a mother with type 1 diabetes after the age of 25 has the same 1% chance of developing type 1 diabetes as a healthy parent; a child born to a parent diagnosed with type 2 diabetes after the age of 50 has a lower chance of developing type 2 diabetes than a healthy parent. However, the gene for diabetes is not necessarily absolutely inherited, there is another key link: lifestyle habits are inherited, that is to say, the family loves meat, alcohol, oil and sugar, then slowly passed to you and your children, it may also be easy to get, so from the beginning of the child to avoid the continuation of such bad habits is also very critical. Avoid obesity: Most of the people with type 2 diabetes are obese, due to the large amount of fat accumulation in the abdomen, resulting in fat resistance to insulin, thus generating diabetes. So those who have a genetic history of diabetes must avoid obesity from the aspect of diet and exercise. Pay attention to diet: pay attention not to eat high-calorie and high-sugar food, such as some fried food to eat less, some unhealthy drinks to drink as little as possible, eat more coarse grains and vegetables to avoid excessive intake resulting in a sudden rise in blood sugar. Develop good habits: avoid staying up late, go to bed early and get up early; eat slowly and chew, refuse to overeat; quit smoking and drinking, learn to release some pressure in life, because healthy work and rest and living habits can greatly reduce the incidence of diabetes. Appropriate exercise: appropriate to do some physical exercise, such as: jogging, swimming, tai chi and other sports, it can accelerate fat decomposition, reduce weight, avoid fat resistance to insulin, but also promote metabolism, enhance physical fitness, cardiovascular benefits. Of course, obese people can also try weight loss surgery, it can not only lose 60%-80% of excess body weight, and from the root to stop re-fat, but also reduce the risk of hypertension, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome and other obesity associated with the onset of disease, if you are obese and accompanied by these diseases, he can also play a role in the cure.
