3 Things That Increase The Risk Of Diabetes!
You can't enjoy the life if you are unable to consume sugar due to diabetes. Well, you might be able to eat a little bit of sugar, depending on the type of diabetes you're suffering from but undoubtedly, not a lot. It really sucks! My mom and dad are suffering from diabetes. My mom rarely touches the sweets and when she touches, she takes just a little bit. It makes me feel sad!
Do you want to go through the same fortune? Diabetes really sucks and so far, there is no definite cure for it which means it can be deadly. A little injury can lead to the cut of your body part. My neighbor had to lose one of his legs because that wound became poisonous and if she wouldn't agree to cut that leg, the poison would spread all over the body and could cause death in several days. That's how dangerous it is.

Again, controlling your blood pressure is very important because if left uncontrolled, it can weaken your brain's blood vessels and lead to stroke. Furthermore, high blood pressure increases the risk of heart diseases. So, there are many reasons why you should keep your blood pressure in control.
# 3 - Excessive Sugar Consumption:
It is often ignored by the people that the more sugar they consume, the greater becomes the risk of diabetes for them. But the question is, does high consumption of sugar directly causes diabetes? No, it leads to obesity and weight gain.
As you've read above already, excessive weight is one of the main things that increase the risk of diabetes. Furthermore, according to stanfordhealthcare, obesity is the major cause of type 2 diabetes. So the conclusion is, sugar may not directly cause diabetes but excessive consumption of sugar creates obesity and therefore, the risk of diabetes increases.
