What is the major causes of diabetes?
My father recently got diagnosed with diabetes, and now my relatives are saying it's genetic, but also that it's because of his diet. I'm trying to understand what are the main reasons people get diabetes.

My doctor said my fasting glucose is slightly high, which is making me anxious. Is it mostly because of lack of sleep or is it genetic? How can I stop it from getting worse?

The major causes are genetic predisposition combined with insulin resistance from a sedentary lifestyle. I use my smartwatch to track my daily steps and active calories to ensure my metabolic health stays on point.

My diabetologist explained that the root cause is a mix of pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction and insulin resistance. Factors like high BMI, visceral fat, and family history significantly escalate the risk of developing it.

Honestly, it is just eating too much junk food, sitting at our desks all day playing games, and genes. Most of our parents have it too. We really need to move more, guys.

It is mainly caused by genetics and the stress of modern life. Please do not worry too much, with quiet daily walks and simple home-cooked meals, many people manage it beautifully.
