Is the current diet causing increase to the number of people with diabetes?

Question

Please give your answer and a reason.
Thanks

Answer 1

Of course it is. People today indulge in all the junk food and don't know how to eat healthy and exercise. If they have the genes that say they are going to get diabetes due to insulin resistance, then they are helping it by gorging on all the unhealthy, non nutritional stuff they cram in their mouths. Sitting at a desk all day and then going home and sitting in front of a TV does not help because it isn't the exercise they need. I believe that the habits of people in our day and time is definitely causing a rise in the diabetes diagnosis.

Well what do you mean for the current diet? diabetic people follow a sort of special diet. A diabetic diet as they call it. It basically comprises of 30-40% carbohydrates 20-30 % fats and 10-20% proteins in a 1200-2000 calories in three equally divided meals. basically what happens in Diabetes is that the body cannot produce insulin or its either insulin is not produce enough to breakdown the food we eat into glucose. glucose is a form of energy which is stored in the body. but because of the inability of the body to stored glucose the glucose remains in the blood thus leading the blood to become sweet.

Answer 4

Diet does not directly cause diabetes. Indirectly it can help bring out the disease in a person who has other risk factors like heredity. Type 2 diabetes occurs as we get older and gain weight and/or become inactive. If you eat a healthy diet and exercise you will keep your weight down and help prevent diabetes. If you do not eat right you will gain weight which is one of the risk factors for diabetes. I hope this makes sense.

Answer 5

It's possible. It's also possible that the disease is actually being caught more than it was a century ago, for instance.

There are a lot of things that we eat now that weren't available long ago: Food additives and refined sugars, for instance. White flour is a relatively new invention, or I should say only recently was available to the masses.

Needless to say, a number of health problems that at one time occured only among the noble classes are now becoming wide-spread.
