How do I get Diabetes?
Diabetes is not a disease that you get as if it were an infection or a virus. This is a disease that can result from your genetic make up or from your lifestyle.
If it is a genetic cause it is likely that your body doesn’t produce insulin, which is the hormone that helps move glucose into cells. Or you may not have functional receptors on the cells to grab hold of the insulin or glucose. This is type 1 diabetes and usually occurs early in life.
If it is a lifestyle cause, it is likely that you eat food that is high in fat, sugar, and carbohydrates. These diet choices, coupled with a lack of exercise eventually overwhelms the body’s capabilities to deal with the sugar load. However, your body may simply wear out over time. These scenarios cause type 2 diabetes.
