What really cause diabetes?

The doctors at Lilavati Hospital explained to me that Type 2 diabetes is largely due to insulin resistance, often caused by genetics combined with a sedentary lifestyle, poor diet, and obesity. Type 1 is autoimmune. Don't guess, ask your doctor for a clear explanation based on *your* situation.

Oh, this question makes me anxious too! It feels like everyone is getting it these days. From what I understand, it's usually a combination of your genes and how you live your life – what you eat, how much you move. It's not one single thing, which makes it even scarier to pinpoint.

It can be really hard to accept a diabetes diagnosis, it feels like a failure sometimes. But it's not always just 'your fault.' Genetics play a huge part, and our modern lifestyles don't help. Be kind to yourself, and focus on managing it.

Internet pe har koi 'cure' bata dega. But the real causes are complex. Doctors say it's genetic predisposition plus lifestyle (diet, exercise, stress). Don't fall for fads. Talk to an actual endocrinologist.

Generally, for Type 2, it's when your body either doesn't produce enough insulin or can't use the insulin it makes effectively, which is insulin resistance. This is often linked to diet, lack of physical activity, and family history. Type 1 is different, an autoimmune condition. It's best to consult a doc for proper understanding.
