Diabetes Features

• Diabetes is a condition in which blood glucose (blood sugar) levels are abnormally high.
• It is mainly caused by diet, lifestyle, and genetic factors.
• Diet has a significant impact on the development of diabetes
• Eating certain foods can cause blood sugar levels to rise rapidly and increase insulin resistance, increasing the risk of developing diabetes.

Foods that cause diabetes 1. Refined carbohydrates

• Digestion occurs quickly and blood sugar levels rise rapidly.
• As a result, the pancreas secretes large amounts of insulin to lower blood sugar levels.
• Insulin is a hormone that transports blood sugar to cells and uses it for energy.
• As insulin levels in the blood rise, cells become less sensitive to insulin.
• If the pancreas secretes large amounts of insulin repeatedly, the responsiveness of cells to insulin decreases (insulin resistance).
• Insulin resistance makes cells unresponsive to insulin, making blood sugar control difficult.
• Eventually, type 2 diabetes develops.

 

Foods that cause diabetes 2. High-fructose syrup

• Excessive fructose consumption is linked to the development of metabolic syndrome
• Increased risk of developing diabetes due to metabolic syndrome (high blood pressure, high blood sugar, abnormal cholesterol levels, abdominal obesity, etc.)
• Unlike glucose, fructose is mainly metabolized in the liver.
• Excessive intake of fructose is converted to fat in the liver (resulting in fatty liver)
• As a result, increased insulin resistance
• Sugar, widely used in the form of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), causes diabetes.
