Other Factors That Can Cause Diabetes
For example, neonatal diabetes is a rare single-gene genetic diabetes that mostly occurs within 6 to 9 months after birth. The more obvious symptoms include crying, thirst, frequent urination, lethargy, etc.
I believe everyone has heard of gestational diabetes. There is no history of diabetes before pregnancy, but high blood sugar occurs during pregnancy. It usually occurs in the second to third trimester. Special attention should be paid to the fact that if the blood sugar level is still abnormal 10 to 12 weeks after delivery, the chance of developing diabetes in the future is as high as 80%. Do not think that it will be cured after giving birth. You must continue to monitor and track blood sugar and control your diet.
Pancreatic dysfunction can also lead to diabetes. In addition to secreting more than ten kinds of digestive enzymes to help digest food, the pancreas also secretes insulin into the blood, shouldering the important responsibility of regulating blood sugar. Once the pancreas becomes inflamed for a long time, or even suffers from pancreatic cancer, it cannot produce insulin, which will increase blood sugar concentration and cause diabetes.
There is another factor that is easily overlooked but cannot be ignored, and that is "drugs". Drugs used to treat HIV, chemotherapy drugs for cancer, antipsychotic drugs prescribed by psychopsychologists, immunosuppressants taken for a long time after organ transplant surgery, and even steroids that are almost abused, etc., can cause blood sugar abnormalities. Therefore, when taking these drugs, blood sugar should be monitored at all times.
