What causes diabetes type 2?
Digestion and assimilation of food are the main processes of our digestive cycles. Blood transports the glucose throughout our body. This glucose provides energy for immediate consumption and also stores as future storage. If there is any imbalance in metabolism, glucose converted into fat and stored into fat cell.
In order to transform glucose into energy, cells require a hormone called insulin. Insulin is produced by the islets of Langerhans present in the pancreas. The pancreas produces sufficient amount of insulin, but the cells of the body cannot utilize the insulin due to some unknown reason. This inability to utilize the insulin by the cells is known as insulin insufficiency.
Over several years, the pancreas due to non-utilization of insulin stops or reduces its production of insulin. The glucose remains in the blood unutilized, and increases the level of sugar in the blood. Your cells are not getting required energy. Extra glucose is taken up by the urinary system and thrown out of the body along with urine.
Thus the main fuel of the body is thrown out while the cells desperately needing glucose, starve and become weak, causing fatigue, nausea, and vomiting besides other complex conditions like vascular degeneration, nervous tension, renal failure, diabetic retinopathy, gum infection, necrosis of cells of extremities requiring amputation, and ischemic attacks including but not limited to myocardial infarction.
Type 2 diabetes increases your risk other serious complications. Some complications of type 2 diabetes include: cardiovascular disease, retinopathy, nerve damage, and kidney problem.
