Suti Karno, who plays Atun in ‘Si Doel Anak Sekolahan’, revealed that she has diabetes. As a result, his leg had to be amputated due to the disease.
He said he had diabetes since he was 18 years old. Suti admits that her illness is not caused by genetics, but by a bad lifestyle.
“I rarely drink water. I always drink sweet soda. I’m 56 years old, as long as I drink sweet all the time. Filming is especially hot, isn’t it hot, drink sweet iced tea,” said Suti Karno.
“Actually, I’m not a hereditary factor. So the diabetes is due to my diet, the lifestyle of my youth which is extraordinarily ridiculous,” he said.
Apparently, not only often consume sweet drinks. There are several daily habits that can trigger diabetes. Anyone? Here’s an explanation.
1. ‘Skip’ Breakfast
It turns out that the habit of not having breakfast can trigger the risk of diabetes. According to a diabetes expert at the Cleveland Clinic Diabetes Center, Ellen Calogeras, RD, LD, CDE, not having breakfast makes a person hungry to the point of going crazy at lunch.
This can interfere with insulin levels and blood sugar control. According to a study by researchers from the University of Minnesota School of Public Health, this can also trigger a person to eat more portions.
2. Sitting Too Long More Than 30 Minutes
A large study of 475,000 people published in 2021 in Diabetes Care, found that sitting or being sedentary for 30 minutes a day was associated with a greater risk of type 2 diabetes.
Therefore, it is advisable to set aside time to move, such as standing, walking, and stretching for a few minutes.
“Many studies now show that reducing sitting with frequent movement improves how well your metabolism works and improves insulin sensitivity,” said Sheri Colberg, professor of exercise science at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, quoted from the page. AARPMonday (26/12/2022).
“Most people with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes have some level of insulin resistance. Therefore, moving frequently can reduce it,” he continued.
3. Often staying up late
Lack of sleep or staying up late too often turns out to be very risky for developing type 2 diabetes. Even this habit can affect heart health.
“When you sleep less than six hours, you interfere with the hormones that control blood glucose and hunger, and that can lead to weight gain,” says diabetes educator at the University of Washington Diabetes Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, Barb Klingler, RN, BSN , CDE, quoted from Everyday Health.
If a person snores a lot, it could indicate sleep apnea. This condition also affects blood sugar and heart health and can lead to diabetes.
4. Smoking
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), smokers are 30-40 percent more at risk of developing diabetes. Especially in heavy smokers.
Experts have not established a direct cause-and-effect relationship, considering that other risk factors such as stress, diet, level of physical activity, and body fat distribution are the main causes of diabetes.
However, a research review published in the 2019 issue of Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome shows that smoking is the sole cause of at least 25 million cases of diabetes worldwide.
5. Too Often Drink Sweet
A study at Harvard concluded that sugary drinks cause Americans to often experience excess weight. This is because when consuming drinks with high sugar content they do not have sufficient nutritional value and do not give a feeling of fullness.
6. Frequent Midnight Snacking
Late night snacking too often can be at risk of causing diabetes. According to the British Journal of Nutrition, this diet causes spikes in blood sugar and interferes with insulin secretion, and triggers type 2 diabetes.
“But if you must snack late, don’t reach for the tempting chips, donuts, and other ‘trigger’ foods that will derail weight loss. Instead, stock up on healthy foods like carrots or other healthy snacks,” explains Klingler.
