There are four million people with diabetes (...

There are four million people with diabetes (糖尿病) in the UK—that’s one in every 16 people. There are two main types of diabetes: Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 is less common and is not preventable. In the UK, 90% of diabetes are Type 2. It has something to do with weight gain and a sedentary (久坐的) lifestyle, but there are other risk reasons. The good news is that around 80% of cases of Type 2 diabetes are preventable.

Are you at risk?

Type 2 diabetes can come on slowly. It may not be easy to find the signs. So it is important to understand the risk reasons. People with Type 2 diabetes can feel thirsty, tired and need to go to the toilet more often.

Tips on preventing Type 2

If you have Type 2 diabetes, it is very important to control your weight. If you are overweight, Type 2 diabetes can be avoided by reducing your weight.

Exercise is necessary for good health. It not only helps to keep a healthy weight, but can lower blood-sugar levels because it helps your body to use insulin (胰岛素) more effectively. To have high levels of everyday activities, including walking, housework, playing with children and hobbies—anything that gets you moving.

Also, a healthy diet will help you manage your weight. Vegetables and fruits are low in calories and are rich in vitamins, minerals (矿物质) and fiber (纤维). This is important for good digestion (消化) and slows down the sugars into the blood. However, some types of fruits are high in sugar, so getting most of your five-a-day from vegetables is better.

Whole grains are good for Type 2 diabetes because the husk (外壳) of the seed is kept. This is often the best part of the grain, with fiber and protein (蛋白). Protein is good for Type 2 diabetes. Fish, meats, eggs, nuts and many beans are rich in protein.

Foods high in both fat and sugar are very bad for your health and should be avoided. Water is the best because there aren’t any calories in it while many other drinks, such as soft drinks, energy drinks and milky coffees are really bad.

Diabetes（糖尿病）is caused by a group of metabolic disorder（代谢紊乱) in which there are high blood sugar levels over a long period of time. There are three main types of diabetes:

Type 1 Diabetes results from the body not having enough insulin.(胰岛素)

Type 2 Diabetes mainly happens to those who do not have enough physical exercise, eat too much unhealthy food and get too heavy.

Gestational Diabetes(妊娠期糖尿病)is the third main form. It appears when a woman is having a baby. She will probably get well again after the birth of the baby.

Diabetes can bring serious problem. People with diabetes, especially the Type1, will easily get thirsty and hungry, and quickly lose weight. If it is not treated, it will develop rapidly(weeks or months), and cause many long-term complications(并发症). All the complications related to damage to blood vessels(血管). For example, damage to the eyes. It is caused by damage to the blood vessels in the eyes, and results in gradual vision loss and blindness. The complications will greatly aggrandize the risk of diabetes, by which about 75% of the deaths are caused.

According to a report from the WHO(World Health Organization) in 2015, about 415 million people have diabetes worldwide, which means 8.3% of the adults in the world have diabetes. Of all the cases, 85% to 90% are Type 2 Diabetes. That is to say, most cases of diabetes result from the unhealthy life style. Diabetes doubles a person's risk of early death. From 2012 to 2015, about 1.5 to 5 million deaths each year resulted from this disease. The global economic cost of diabetes in 2014 was around 612 billion USD.

A healthy life style can help prevent diabetes. Doing a lot of physical activities and having a healthy diet will help have normal body weight. Higher levels of physical activity (more than 90 minutes per day) can reduce the risk of diabetes by 28%. Healthy diet includes foods rich in whole grains and fiber, foods with good fats from nuts, vegetable oils and fish, little sugar, and less red meat.
