1️ Genetic or hereditary factors:  If someone in the family is affected by diabetes, the risk of other members increases. Hereditary genes affect the process of insulin production and use in the body.
Therefore, those who have a family history should have regular blood tests.

2️ Insulin production problems: The pancreas produces insulin, which delivers blood glucose to the cells. But sometimes the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin. As a result, blood glucose levels increase.

3️ Insulin resistance: In Type 2 diabetes, although the body produces insulin, it does not work properly. This condition is called insulin resistance.
As a result, glucose accumulates in the blood and gradually turns into diabetes.

4️ Unhealthy diet: Processed foods, excess sugar, fried and oily foods reduce the effectiveness of insulin in the body.
In addition, not eating enough fiber and vitamins reduces the body’s ability to control glucose.

5️ Obesity and lack of exercise: Excess weight increases insulin resistance. People who sit for long periods of time or do not exercise are at higher risk of diabetes.
Therefore, you should do at least 30 minutes of light exercise every day.

6️ Stress and insomnia: Long-term stress disrupts the body’s hormonal balance. When the cortisol hormone increases, blood sugar also increases.
On the other hand, not getting enough sleep reduces insulin sensitivity.

7️ Hormonal changes: Conditions like pregnancy, thyroid or Cushing’s syndrome disrupt the body’s hormonal balance.
As a result, blood sugar levels increase and the risk of diabetes increases.
