Diabetes
Diabetes is a metabolic non-communicable disease that causes elevated sugar levels in
the blood (Watson, 2020). It is associated with the defective secretion of insulin hormone from
the islets of Langerhans. Insulin is responsible for moving blood sugars from blood into cells for
storage or utilization to generate energy. High glucose in diabetic people is caused by an inability
to move sugar from blood to muscle and fat cells, so they are consumed or metabolized to release
energy (Watson, 2020). Thus, diabetes may be caused by insufficient secretion of insulin or
obscured use of insulin.
Diabetes causes are likely to vary contingent on hereditary factors, ethnicity, family
history, health, nationality, wellbeing, and natural components. There is no common cause of
diabetes that fits all types of diabetes. This is because the reasons for diabetes shift contingently
to people and type. For example, causes of type 1 diabetes impressively vary from that of
gestational diabetes. In addition, those of type 2 diabetes are unmistakable different to those of
type 1 diabetes.
The causes of type 1 and type 2 diabetes are very different. Type 1 diabetes is associated
with an immune disorder that hinders the secretion of insulin from the pancreas. In type 1
diabetes, the immune system kills cells in the islets of Langerhans responsible for synthesizing
insulin. Therefore, the body is supplied by insufficient insulin required for regulating blood sugar
(Diabetes.co.uk, 2019). The condition where body cells attack themselves is called autoimmune
responses. Bacterial or viral infection, genetic disposition, and chemical toxins may trigger
autoimmunity (Diabetes.co.uk, 2019). On the other side, type 2 diabetes is caused by the body’s
