What Are The Possible Causes Of Diabetes
Mellitus?

• Diabetes is growing like a wildfire in India,
  turning the country as the diabetes capital of
  the world. Though Diabetes is multi-factorial-the
  leading causes are genetics and lifestyle. All
  these causes can lead to insulin resistance when
  your body doesnt use insulin as it should. The
  main reason of type 2 diabetes is insulin
  resistance.

Genetics

• Type 2 Diabetes can be related to
  genetics. That doesnt mean that if your mother
  or father has (or had) type 2 diabetes, youre
  guaranteed to develop it instead, it means that
  you have a greater chance of developing type
  2. Researchers know that you can inherit a risk
  for type 2 diabetes, but its difficult to
  pinpoint which genes carry the risk. The medical
  community is hard at work trying to figure out
  the certain genetic mutations that lead to a risk
  of type 2.

Lifestyle

• Genes do play a role in type 2 diabetes, but
  lifestyle choices are also important. You can,
  for example, have a genetic mutation
  that may make you susceptible to type 2, but if
  you take good care of your body, you may not
  develop diabetes. Say that two people have the
  same genetic mutation. One of them eats well,
  watches their cholesterol, and stays physically
  fit, and the other is overweight (BMI greater
  than 25) and inactive. The person who is
  overweight and inactive is much more likely to
  develop type 2 diabetes because certain lifestyle
  choices greatly influence how well your body uses
  insulin.Glucose builds up in the blood when you
  are insulin resistant, leading to the symptoms
  associated with type 2 diabetes.

Some Of The Lifestyle Choices That Develops Type
2 Diabetes Are

•  Lack of exercise Physical activity has many
  benefitsone of them being that it can help you
  avoid type 2 diabetes, if youre susceptible.
•  Unhealthy food habits A meal plan filled with
  high-fat foods and lacking in fiber (which you
  can get from grains, vegetables, and fruits)
  increases the likelihood of type 2.
• Overweight/Obesity Lack of exercise and
  unhealthy meal planning choices can lead to
  obesity, or make it worse. Being overweight makes
  it more likely that youll become insulin
  resistant and can also lead to many other health
  conditions.
• Insulin Resistance
• Combination of factorsgenetic susceptibility and
  lifestyle choicescauses insulin resistance. If
  your body is insulin resistant, it doesnt use
  insulin properly.
• Your body may produce enough insulin to transport
  the glucose to the cells (you can read more about
  how insulin works in our article on insulin), but
  unfortunately, the body resists that insulin.
•  Glucose builds up in the blood when you are
  insulin resistant, leading to the symptoms
  associated with type 2 diabetes.

Risk Factors for Diabetes

• Family history In a Type 2 diabetes there is a
  hereditary factor. 
• Race/ethnicity 
• Certain ethnic groups are more likely to develop
  type 2 diabetes, like Native Americans, Hispanic
  Americans, African-Americans, and Asian
  Americans.
• Age Age increases the risk of developing type 2
  diabetes in an individual. At the age 45, your
  risk starts to rise, and after age 65, your risk
  increases exponentially.
• Gestational diabetes If you have diabetes while
  you were pregnant, that increases your risk for
  developing type 2 diabetes.
• Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) The risk of
  type 2 diabetes increases if you have polycystic
  ovary syndrome (PCOS) because its related to
  insulin resistance. There are many cysts in your
  ovaries, and one possible cause is insulin
  resistance.
