"The Surprising Link Between Diet and Diabetes, According to an Endocrinologist"

Endocrinologists warn that regularly consuming refined sugar, especially in sugary drinks and high-carbohydrate foods, can increase the risk of developing diabetes by causing insulin resistance. To lower the risk, it's advised to avoid sugary treats, high-carbohydrate foods, and sugary beverages, and instead focus on a diet rich in vegetables, fiber, and lean protein. Additionally, maintaining an active lifestyle, managing stress, getting enough sleep, and considering supplements like vitamin D and magnesium can help prevent diabetes and promote overall well-being.

Treatment with insulin is essential, and individuals with Type 1 diabetes should be managed by an endocrinologist. Additionally, those diagnosed with late-onset Type 1 diabetes are at a higher risk for developing other autoimmune diseases, such as thyroid or celiac disease.
