Diabetes is caused when the pancreas becomes dysfunctional. The body is dependent upon the insulin the pancreas secretes to keep the body’s blood sugar levels normal. Many things can cause the pancreas to become dysfunctional and cause diabetes.

Diabetes is known to be higher in certain ethnicities such as Asian American, Hispanic, African American, Native American and Pacific Island descendants. The disease is known to be inherited and if it runs in your family, then you have a 25% chance of having diabetes eventually.

Age is a big cause of diabetes because as people get older, they exercise less and they gain weight, causing the body’s pancreas to improperly secrete insulin.

Diabetes can also be caused by a viral infection or illness affecting the pancreas, causing it not to secrete insulin properly.

However, the biggest cause of diabetes is obesity. Excessive weight and fat in the body cause muscle and tissues not to react to insulin the way they should, almost making them resistant to the insulin the pancreas is secreting. The insulin will not function properly causing high blood sugar levels, eventually leading to diabetes. Overeating can cause diabetes also. The body needs a proper balance in its diet and if a body has too many carbohydrates, fats, or proteins, it can cause the pancreas to be dysfunctional also.

Frequent smoking can eventually lead to diabetes. Stress is also a major factor in diabetes. The body’s metabolism is directly influenced by its lifestyle. This includes the amount of daily stress; grief, and excessive worrying, that can cause the metabolism to react differently to insulin and the person to become a diabetic.
