The common types of diabetes are type I and type II diabetes. Most patients belong to "type II diabetes", which is caused by uncontrolled diet, bad living habits, laziness and sedentary, and lack of exercise. Also known as "rich disease", it mostly happens after 40 years old. As the function of digestive and metabolic systems gradually declines, insulin resistance and sensitivity gradually deepen, and it is more likely to break out; 1 type diabetic patients are more common in teenagers, and most of them are closely related to genetic factors. There are also special reasons, such as virus invasion, environmental factors, psychological factors, eating and living habits and so on, which fail to protect islet cells in time. In addition to insulin resistance, this type of diabetic has basically lost the function of secreting insulin, so the situation will be worse. Generally, insulin injection is needed to stabilize blood sugar.
1 diabetic patients will suddenly lose weight in a short time, and it is common to lose twenty or thirty kilograms a month, because insulin function is almost lost and glucose metabolism cannot be carried out. Our insulin is the only hormone that can lower blood sugar in the body. Its function is to let the glucose entering the blood enter the cells to provide energy, so that the glucose in the blood drops and the glucose in the cells rises. We can not only stabilize blood sugar, but also charge cells. The remaining glucose will be converted into glycogen for temporary storage under the action of insulin, and will be converted into glucose for energy supply when we are short of sugar. Weak insulin has low motivation or even no effect at all, so the glucose in the blood stays. We not only feel exhausted, but also keep the blood sugar at a high level. In order to gain energy, cells can only make the brain order the decomposition of fat or even protein to supply energy, so we will become thinner and thinner.
Often we all think that diabetes is obesity, right? Don't you think those sugar friends around us are all people with round waists and bellies? That's really a misunderstanding. Diabetes is not the patent of fat people, even a person with normal figure or even thin body may be diabetic. As mentioned above, type 2 diabetes is often closely related to eating disorders. Obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypertension and other diseases are more likely to increase insulin resistance, so most patients with type 2 diabetes are generally obese at first, but they begin to be obese in the middle and late stages. If the blood sugar is not well controlled, for example, the blood sugar has been in a relatively high state, indicating that the effect of insulin is still not good and the utilization rate of glucose is poor, then sugar friends will continue to lose weight, and many long-term diabetic patients may not be fat.
Therefore, people with diabetes should pay attention if their weight has been falling. 1 type diabetics may also lose a lot of weight. Weight loss indicates that diabetic patients have poor blood sugar control. They should see a doctor in time to see if they need to increase or decrease the dose or insulin injection. In addition, it is also necessary to examine their daily diet and habits, whether they are not taboo, love to eat indiscriminately, love to overeat, and often love to eat some refined sugar. If blood sugar can remain stable, it will naturally not continue to lose weight unhealthy, and the weight will return to normal. Of course, if diabetics used to be overweight, it is certainly a good thing to have a reasonable and light diet and return to normal weight.
