Causes of diabetes, which affects 95% of people.. Prepared by Dr. Abdel Moneim Sedqi.. Professor at the Agricultural Research Center, Egypt

Quoted from the “Science Alert” website, a research team explained that countries that consume excessive amounts of processed meat have higher rates of diabetes.
The research team concluded that poor diet is the main cause of this type of diabetes, by relying on an analysis of data from 184 countries recorded during 1990 - 2018.
Type 2 diabetes is a disease that affects the way the body metabolizes glucose and uses it to supply the body with energy. When it is mixed in large quantities and increases its level in the blood, it leads to disorders in the circulatory system, nervous system, and immune system.
  When suffering from the first type of diabetes, the ability of the pancreas to secrete a sufficient amount of insulin, which is the hormone responsible for regulating the movement of sugar into the cells, decreases, and the cells do not respond to the hormone insulin properly, which is why they absorb a small amount of diabetes.
This type of diabetes appears in adults, but it may appear in children or adolescents, especially those with obesity.
The researchers tracked 11 different dietary factors, and three of them turned out to be the most important and associated with: not eating whole grains, eating a lot of refined rice and wheat, and eating a lot of processed meat, according to the study published in the scientific journal Nature Medicine.

Dariush Mozaffarian, a cardiologist and professor of nutrition at Tufts University in Massachusetts, explained that the study reveals that the quality of “bad carbohydrates is the main driver of diabetes caused by poor diet worldwide.” He pointed out that there are differences between countries and societies, and the data showed that poor diet is linked to diabetes. Diabetes cases were more common in men than in women, and it seemed to have a greater impact on young people than the elderly. The countries of Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia were most associated with diabetes, perhaps due to the prevalence of processed red meat in the diet, and the numbers were high in Latin American and Caribbean countries as well. Losing weight, eating healthy foods, and exercising can help control this disease
