Stop eating sugar will not cause diabetes, right?

The Dhaka Times Desk Excess sugar increases the risk of diabetes. But simply stopping sugar intake does not eliminate the risk of this disease.

At present, the problem of diabetes is at home. Irregular lifestyle and unhealthy eating habits greatly increase the risk of this disease. Many people think that only eating sugar can lead to diabetes. But experts say otherwise. It is true that excess sugar increases the risk of the disease, they said, but simply stopping sugar intake does not eliminate the risk of diabetes.

The World Health Organization (WHO) says that we usually have two types of diabetes. Type-1 and Type-2. In type-1 diabetes, the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas are damaged. Because of this, insulin production in the body of diabetics is completely stopped. If insulin is not produced, sugar levels are not controlled. Type 1 diabetes is also called an autoimmune disease. The reason is that this disease occurs by itself. So it is not at all possible to prevent this type of diabetes simply by eating less sugar.

Pancreatic cells are not damaged in type 2 diabetes. However, the human body cannot use insulin properly. Because of which the blood sugar level can rise at an excessive rate. In the case of this type of diabetes, if you control your eating and drinking, this disease is far away.

It is not possible for ordinary people to recognize diseases individually. However, in 90 percent of cases, diabetes is type-2. Which is mainly due to our eating habits. Genetic risk of diabetes cannot be ruled out. Therefore, people over 40 years of age should be tested for diabetes every year, even if they do not have symptoms. The American Diabetes Association says that three decades ago, the disease was extremely rare in children and young adults. But the picture has changed dramatically in these three decades. So caution should be taken even in the case of young people. Source: Anandabazar Patrika.
