Labels: health, prevention tipsBased on the etiology (cause), there are some kinds of
diabetes mellitus (DM), namely:
DM type 1, DM tipe2, as well as a special type such as gestational diabetes (occurring during pregnancy), MODY
(maturity onset diabetes of the young), and others.
However, the type most often found in the Asia Pacific region is of type 2 DM is characterized by
reduced insulin secretion, insulin resistance, hepatic glucose overproduction, and disorders of fat metabolism.
Type 2 DM is multifaktoral (genetic and environmental). Polahereditas (inheritance of the offspring) is not clear because the disease involves many genes and do not follow Mendel's Law.
Someone who is one of the parents suffered from type 2 diabetes will have a greater risk the disease. But when his parents were both suffering from type 2 diabetes, the possibility the child is exposed to 40%.
Factors - risk factors for type 2 diabetes include:
1. Risk factors that can not be changed / modified.
* Ras. Race / Ethnicity such as afro-american, latin-american, asian-american, and citizens of other Pacific islands.
* Family history of diabetes.
* Age: The risk of developing impaired glucose tolerance (prediabetes) increases with age. Therefore, every person who has -45 years of age should be examined DM
* History of having a baby with a birth weight above 4000 grams, or had a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (DM pregnancy)
* History is born with low birth weight Agencies (less than 2.5 kg)
2. Risk factors that can be changed / modified:
* More weight (BMI> 23 kg / m)
* Lack of physical activity or exercise infrequently.
* High blood pressure / hypertension (> 140/90 mmHg).
We can perform the primary prevention as follows:
1. Eating arrangements or a healthy diet to maintain a stable body weight. The recommended proportion of food portions is 60-70% carbohydrates 0.10 to 15% protein, and 20-25% fat.
2. Limit the amount of saturated and trans fats in the diet, multiply or fiber-fiber foods and whole grains (the consumption of vegetables and fruits)
3. Avoid smoking and smoke effects.
4. Avoid eating too many sweets.
5. Avoid fast foods which contain high levels of carbohydrates and fats.
6. Always control the blood pressure regularly / periodically.
7. Enough exercise, a minimum of 2.5 hours during the week.
It is recommended to perform a complete health check every once a year.
