Why are there more and more Diabetic patients recently?

Diabetes has become a kind of common disease that endanger the health and it happens to even younger age in recent years. However, Diabetes can also be prevented. The unhealthy lifestyle is the main reason for Diabetes.
After one day’s heavy work, the middle-aged often have dinner late. People often eat fast food for breakfast and lunch, so dinner has become the most important meal of the day. Therefore, many people eat too much for dinner and the meal is always to fatty. Besides, they will go to sleep soon after that. Long time like this will cause many problems and even Diabetes.

Diabetes mellitus, often simply referred to as diabetes, is a group of metabolic diseases in which a person has high blood sugar, either because the body does not produce enough insulin, or because cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced. This high blood sugar produces the classical symptoms of polyuria (frequent urination), polydipsia (increased thirst) and polyphagia (increased hunger).
There are three main types of diabetes:
Type 1 diabetes: results from the body's failure to produce insulin, and presently requires the person to inject insulin. (Also referred to as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, IDDM for short, and juvenile diabetes.)
Type 2 diabetes: results from insulin resistance, a condition in which cells fail to use insulin properly, sometimes combined with an absolute insulin deficiency. (Formerly referred to as non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, NIDDM for short, and adult-onset diabetes.)
Gestational diabetes: is when pregnant women, who have never had diabetes before, have a high blood glucose level during pregnancy. It may precede development of type 2 DM.
Why are there more and more Diabetic patients recently?
The major lifestyle alterations usually advised in persons are:
*Relief of stress by relaxation exercises or yoga.
*Increased physical activity. When you exercise, your muscles use sugar (glucose) for energy. Regular physical activity also improves your body's response to insulin. These factors work together to lower your blood sugar level. The more strenuous your workout, the longer the effect lasts. But even light activities — such as housework, gardening or being on your feet for extended periods — can lower your blood sugar level.
*Stop smoking and tobacco consumption in any form.
*Stop alcohol consumption or limiting it to small quantities.
*Eating at regular intervals, and in proper quantities and composition that ensures a balanced intake of all nutrients. Your blood sugar level is highest an hour or two after you eat, and then begins to fall. But this predictable pattern can work to your advantage. Simply eating about the same amount of food at about the same time every day. Carbohydrates have a bigger effect on your blood sugar level than does protein or fat. Eating about the same amount of carbohydrates at each meal or snack will help keep your blood sugar level steady throughout the day.
*Reduce intake of saturated fats and simple sugars.
*Weight reduction if you are overweight.
We suggest people at high risk of Diabetes test blood sugar, urine sugar and blood fat so as to detect the disease earlier and receive treatment in time.
