Risk for diabetes constitutes all those factors which are directly and indirectly responsible for the growth and development of the disease of diabetes. The increase in the sugar in bloodstream is caused due to many factors which shoot up with sedentary lifestyle and scarcity in physical exercise. Diabetes is a disease of glucose fluctuation in the body which is the outcome of the following:
- Inheritance factor: The risk factor in the inheritance of diabetes from generation to generation is 25 to 30%. Gestational diabetes, which is the increased state of glucose in the expecting mother passes from mother to the fetus through placenta, is the one of the primary factors of diabetes. 80% of type-1 diabetes children acquired this disease through hereditary factor. The inheritance of type-2 diabetes down the generations is the diabetes gene. If the diabetes gene is in suppressed form, the chances of diabetes are mitigated whereas, if the gene of diabetes is in dominant form, diabetes is sure to afflict the patient.
- Apple shaped figure: People who possess maximum of their body mass in the trunk run high risk of diabetes. On the contrary people with pear shaped body tend to fight diabetes bravely. Men with more than 100cm and women with 95cm waist length are subjected to high chances of diabetes
- Obesity: The survey conducted by American Diabetes Association analyzed that 60 to 80% of diabetics are overweight or vice versa. Obesity results in the accumulation of fats around the cell surface which hampers the absorption of glucose with the aid of insulin hormone. The resistant state created by obesity further worsens the condition of body causing severe heart, neuropathy and retinopathy diseases. Obesity of excess weight is usually observed in people above the age limit of 40.
- Virus Infections: The attack of virus coxsackie B in the pancreatic gland damages the production of insulin by the beta cells. This is an auto immuno disorder which is still under the research spectrum of science.
- Age: This factor is indirectly correlated with type-2 diabetes. The rate of diabetes in Canadian senior citizens is tripled than the middle aged men and women. This is an auto immuno disorder which is still under the research spectrum of science.
- Smoking: The presence of nicotine and cyanide dries the dilution system of body which aggravates the chance of glucose presence in the body. Smoking directly affects insulin absorption and mobility.
- Organic disruptions: Diabetes can be the by-product of fatal diseases like cancer, tuberculosis, nerve disease and cerebral disorders. The factors can be metabolic and genetic or malfunctioning of glands like thyroid.
