The risks of developing diabetes have changed. New, sometimes unexpected factors have been added to the traditional causes:
1. Vapes and sweet e-cigarettes
E-liquids with sweeteners increase the risk of prediabetes by 40%.
2. Healthy lifestyle traps
Fitness bars and drinks often contain more sugar than regular foods.
3. Digital sleep deprivation
Blue light from digital devices disrupts melatonin production and glucose metabolism.
4. Microplastics in food and water
Nanoparticles from bottled water can provoke inflammation of the pancreas, leading to insulin resistance.
5. Post-COVID condition
COVID-19 has become a new risk factor. The virus often disrupts carbohydrate metabolism.
What does this mean?
Diabetes is no longer just about "a lot of sugar and little exercise." It's about a lifestyle in the 21st century. That's why glucose monitoring, prevention, and awareness are more relevant than ever.
MLC has developed and is preparing to launch its own continuous glucose monitoring system, CGM Fly, to give people a tool to detect the risk in time and control their health every day.
MLC: caring for the future starts right now!
