Type 2 diabetes become a global epidemic. There are currently 120-140 million people around the world. World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the incidence would be 300 million in 2025.

According to WHO, the number of type 2 diabetes in Indonesia will increase 250 percent, from five million (1995), to 25 million in 2005. Diab Care Research Asia 2001 in several health center five big cities in Indonesia show, 58 percent of patients with type 2 diabetes are overweight.

Obesity is a condition where the body is abnormal accumulation of fat in adipose tissue to the level of damage the health. Many ways to measure obesity. The most practical is the measurement of Body Mass Index (BMI), ie weight (kg) divided by height (meters) squared. If the BMI of more than 25 means overweight. Called obesity when BMI of more than 30.

Problems and challenges in the management of diabetic patients with obesity to be one topic of the Congress of ASEAN Federation of Endocrine Societies (AFES) XI in Bali, last November.

According to Indonesian Chairman of the Endocrinology Society (Perkeni) is also President of AFES Dr. Soegondo SpPD Sidartawan-TO, increase the incidence of type 2 diabetes in Indonesia, mostly caused by unhealthy eating patterns, lifestyle and age of life expectancy.

“About 35 percent of patients with type 2 diabetes Indonesia overweight or obesity in the abdomen. As weight gain, body more or less sensitive to the effects of insulin. As a result, the pancreas will produce more insulin. When the ability of the pancreas to produce insulin can not compensate for insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes occurs indicated high levels of blood sugar, “explained Sidartawan.

Diatbets type 2 can not be treated until cured, only managed / controlled. Complications of Type 2 diabetes can damage many organs, such as eyes, kidneys, brain, heart, and can be fatal.

According to Professor Luc Van Gaal, endocrinology expert from Belgium who melakukaan research weight loss management, use of orlistat (generic name) in patients treated with metformin and insulin to lose weight three times greater than with diet alone.

Whatever type of disease we are suffering there must be why. When someone in the indication of diabetic disease usually they will do a search on the cause of the disease. Usually they look for the mistakes he had done so suffer from diabetes. Apart from doctors, books, magazine articles, newspaper was the internet info can also be used as the search solution of their illness.

For that, I as a blogger who wants to share about the maximum life style trying to give these reviews to readers.

The signs or symptoms of someone suffering from diabetes can be known by knowing the change. Some of the changes that occur in a person when he was stricken with diabetes, among others, drinking became more, urinate more
often, and keep weight down, easily depressed. These changes take a long time and generally tend not to be noticed by potential diabetics. Until finally one must go to the doctor and check blood levels (glucose) blood.

Causes of diabetes

Scientifically, the cause of diabetes may be due to a lack of insulin production or lack of substance sensitive to the substance of tissue insulin. This will result in levels of glucose in the food can not be absorbed and utilized by the body. As a result the blood sugar levels will continue to increase.

Why does a person’s body can not be issued or no longer on substance senseitif insulin and eventually tested positive for diabetes?

Dr Kamandanu explained that diabetes is caused by two things namely, excess consumption of sugar resulting in an increase in blood sugar in the body or due to hereditary factors, diabetes including type of disease decreased.

Lifestyle unhealthy and poor diet can make the trigger. Because the diet is not good cause there is no balance between carbohydrates and other content needed by our bodies. As a result the sugar content in the body so high working capacity of the pancreas. Or it could be from consumption of foods and beverages that are not clean and cook arbitrarily.

Diabetes can also be caused by hereditary factors (genes). If our parents have diabetes, most likely we will also be exposed to the risk of diabetes. Because the disease is decreased by genes. So if your parents have a history of diabetes we must be careful that we are not affected by this disease, we must keep the body healthy lifestyles, consume foods and beverages that contain sugar to taste.

Causes of diabetes are more fully described by Dr. Ahani in his blog. Here are some of the writing Dr. Ahani cited gambar_hidup so you can better understand completely.

The cause of diabetes mellitus could have a variety of ways such as:

1. Genetic or Heredity Factor

Diabetes mellitus tended to reduced or diawariskan, not transmitted. DM patient family members (diabetisi) have a greater chance of developing the disease compared with family members who do not suffer from DM. Health experts also noted that DM is a disease adrift sex or sex chromosomes. Usually men into real people, while women as a party that carries the genes for inherited to their children.

2.Virus and Bacteria

DM is the virus that causes rubella, mumps, and human coxsackievirus B4. Through the mechanism of infection sitolitik in beta cells, these viruses cause cell destruction or vandalism. Or rather, it attacks through a reaction that causes the loss otoimunitas autoimmune beta cell. Diabetes mellitus due to bacteria could still be detected. However, health experts suspect a bacterial cause DM role.

3. Toxic or Toxic Materials

Toxic substances that can damage the beta cells directly is Alloxan, pyrinuron (rodenticides), and streptozoctin (the product of some kind of mushroom). Other materials are cyanide from cassava.

4. Nutrition

Excessive nutrients (overnutrition) is the first risk factor is known to cause DM. The more overweight or obese due to excessive nutrients, the more likely someone infected DM.

How to Overcome Diabetes

Diabetes can be avoided or reduced by knowing the blood glucose levels in our bodies do a routine inspection, because of the increase in the blood is always changing. If we are able to keep blood sugar levels within normal limits means that we can prevent the complications of diabetes. Another way that you can use to reduce the complications of diabetes are: stop smoking, optimizing cholesterol levels, maintain a stable body weight, controlling high blood pressure (tension), and doing regular exercise.
