What causes Diabetes | High blood sugar and type 2 diabetes

Hi friends my name is Hadi Rana, today we will learn what causes diabetes | High blood sugar and type 2 Diabetes.

 In order to understand blood sugar problems we need to review what a hormone is?

      Hormones are proteins released from parts of the body called glands. They help to send messages from one place in the body to parts that are further away, insulin is a hormone that tells the body to store the energy from the food we eat. Insulin is made in your pancreas, a small organ located just below your stomach. Insulin level goes up in response to the different types of sugar eaten. In your diet rising insulin levels allow sugar to be saved as energy to be used later. Let's take a train ride to understand things better, Think of the pancreas as if it were a steam engine on an old fashioned train, heading out for a ride through the mountain side. Insulin is the smoke that the train engine produces as it chugs along on it's journey, passing through the valley the train glides along it's track. The steam engine works effortlessly and continuously produce small puffs of smoke.

When it travels up a hill the smoke increases what only by a small amount and for short period of time, this represents the normal everyday function of the pancreas, when the pancreas is not overworked, it churns out small amount of insulin. A small hill represents a meal that results in insulin levels going up temporarily when the train begins traveling up a very steep mountain the engine kicks into the gears. As the train climbs the engine burns more fuel and the smoke output begins to rise.

      Initially the speed of the train does not change and the passengers does not aware of the effort required from the engine, this steep mountain represents prediabetes as a person eats more than what is pancreas has to work overtime and churns out more insulin.

The individual does not feel the stress placed on the pancreas, if the train has to continue up the mountain for a long period of time. The engine will start to burn out and the train will slow, decreasing the smoke produced similar to the overworked engine. The pancreas can begin to tire out as well.

     In Diabetes mellitus sugar in the blood is high for several reasons that pancreas cannot produce enough insulin, because it is overworked also weigh gain contributes causing the insulin you have to work as well the end, result is that sugar from the diet builds up in the blood, adding exercise to your schedule and eating less sugar in your diet can decrease the stress on your pancreas and improve blood sugar levels.
