70% of the world’s cases of Type II Diabetes are in low and middle income countries. The estimations of people with Type 2 Diabetes in India range between 35 and 50.8 million people. This makes up one of the world’s largest diabetes population, with China ranking closely at the top with an estimated 43.2 million patients. These numbers are stunning, but you must remember that India is home to almost 1.2 billion people. With about 300 million people in the USA, 17 million of which have Type two Diabetes, the density of those with Diabetes 2 in the USA is 5% while 4% of Indian currently have the disease.
These numbers given here are only the people who have come forward and been diagnosed with a problem. Millions around the world are suffering without a name to put to their ailments. They may eventually be diagnosed, but because of the current lack of accurate diagnoses, the numbers are never fully accurate. Since Type ii diabetes is so prevalent in every country of the world, you begin to wonder what causes diabetes and why everyone does not simply avoid the causes and remain free from the condition for the course of their lives.
The answer to this is that there is no way to simply avoid getting diabetes if you have a genetic predisposition. In this case, most are diagnosed with diabetes type 1 as a young adult or even a child. It happens due to the inability to result in sufficient levels of insulin naturally. Diabetes 2 is more preventable, though genetics do still play a role. However, allowing yourself to live an inactive lifestyle that includes a poor diet can lead to obesity, and 90% of diabetics are obese. A sedentary lifestyle is a factor that is largely what causes diabetes type 2. Everybody also increases the likelihood of having diabetes they get older.
People are more prone to developing Diabetes 2 if they naturally have a shortage of insulin supply in their bodies. This is the genetic portion of what causes diabetes. Over time, the body begins to respond less to the production of insulin due to too much fat surrounding cells. Blood sugars remain too high and symptoms begin to appear. They begin mildly with signs like excessive need to use the restroom, sudden weight loss, lack of energy and blurred vision. These are all direct results of off kilter blood blood sugar levels.
