What causes acute diabetes?
VerifiedHealing hearts, one patient at a time.
Acute diabetes is mainly caused by genetic factors, viral infections, autoimmune reactions, etc.
1. Genetic factors
If there are diabetic patients in the family, especially immediate relatives, then the individual's risk of disease may increase. Genetic factors can affect the function of islet cells and insulin secretion or action, resulting in abnormal blood glucose regulation.
2. Virus infection
Virus infection may induce acute diabetes, such as coxsackie virus, rubella virus, etc. They may directly attack islet cells, causing damage or loss of function, and then cause rapid increase in blood sugar.
3. Autoimmune reaction
Autoimmune system abnormalities can lead to islet cells being attacked and destroyed. When the autoimmune mechanism is disordered, antibodies against islet cells will be produced, accelerating the damage and apoptosis of islet cells, causing the occurrence of acute diabetes.
For people with the above risk factors, close attention should be paid to blood glucose changes, and regular physical examination and blood glucose testing should be carried out for early detection and intervention. once acute diabetes is diagnosed, seek medical attention promptly and follow your doctor's treatment recommendations to control blood sugar levels and reduce complications.
