Diabetes more hazardous than obesity!

Diabetes can result to be more critical as compared to obesity. So, diabetics need to take care of their health in a proper way as their problem can lead to death due to acute failure of major organs of the body.

Recent study suggested that people with diabetes are at high risk of extreme ailment that can lead to death rather to those with obesity. Diabetics, even with low BMI are found to culitvate acute organ failure three times more as compared to overweight without diabetes, thereby resulting in death.

I believe that diabetes can devastate insulin-producing or related organs of the body like pancreas paving way to death. Whereas is obesity also accountable for causing various problems like fat accumulation, blood pressure and high cholesterol and likewise, but may not risk in failure until and unless one get attacked from diabetes.

In my opinion, diabetics as well as obese should keep a watch on their health by getting early treatment as soon as possible. In addition, obese need to go for regular check-up to check-out the development of diabetes, if there is any.

Improved hygiene : A risk factor for type-I diabetes in kids

There are no doubts that a surplus amount of sugar intake, inadequacy of physical exercise in combination with hereditary factors make the situation ripe for development of diabetes...but off lately another fresh factor has been added into this list. According to a recent study, good hygiene and clean environmental living conditions have added into the risk of diabetes particularly the type 1 diabetes in kids.

Trends display that cases of type-1 diabetes have become five-fold in children over the last 15 years.

“It could be a consequence of people being exposed to fewer infections. Some scientists believe this is why rates of asthma are also increasing at peak. The immune system is presumed to fight infection but in asthma and type 1 diabetes it gets misdirected,” opines a researcher Polly.

The rise is too sharp and fast to be blamed upon genetic factors, so changes in environment can be another major issue, details of which are still to be recognized and discussed in detail.
