SOME FACTORS OF TRIGGERS DIABETES:

1. Obesity

No need to be obese to risk having type 2 diabetes. A few kilograms of waist size can cause type 2 diabetes. A woman is at risk if their waist size is more than 80cm. Asian men are at high risk if the waist size is above 90 cm.

2. Lack of sleep

If a person is regularly less than five hours a day has twice the risk of diabetes than those who sleep 7-8 hours a day.

Estimated, this is because less rest will interfere with the circadian rhythms of the body, the internal clock that regulates natural sleep and wake cycle, as well as release stress hormones that are too much.

3. Ovarian cyst (PCOS)

As many as 10 percent of people with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) develop type two diabetes. Like diabetes, PCOS is associated with insulin imbalance.

If there is too much insulin in the blood, the ovaries produce excess hormone testosterone, resulting in symptoms such as excessive hair growth, acne, weight gain and depression. Increased insulin levels will damage both ovaries and pancreas and lead to diabetes.

4. Snoring

Yale's research shows the problem of more severe snoring, making the chance of blood sugar levels getting higher. The heavy snorer is more likely to develop diabetes by up to 50 percent.

One of the risk factors of apnea is overweight, which is also a marker for type 2 diabetes. But scientists say the decrease in airways can lead to an increase in cortisol levels, which causes glucose levels to rise.

5. Pregnancy

Although a debate if pregnancy is a factor that triggers diabetes, scientists found one in 20 pregnant women experience gestational diabetes.

These pregnant women produce extra sugars to help the fetus grow, disrupting the normal insulin-glucose balance, and generally make babies born in larger sizes.

Although self-limiting after delivery, women with gestational diabetes are at risk seven times more likely to develop diabetes in the future.

6. Skip the breakfast

Research in Australia found that people who skip breakfast tend to experience a sudden drop in blood sugar in the morning, so they eat more sweet foods more often.

This causes a sudden spike in blood sugar and stimulates insulin. As a result the body's cells are resistant to the effects of hormones that allow the occurrence of diabetes.

7. Work shift

Working in shifts for a long time can increase a person's risk of developing type 2 diabetes by up to 50 percent. A recent study at Harvard University found workers who worked with day-night shift systems were most at risk. Like sleep deprivation, shift work interferes with the lifestyle of circadian rhythms.
