Strenous exercises such as weightlifting, sprints and competitive sports cause you to produce stress hormones (such as adrenaline). Adrenaline raises blood glucose levels by stimulating your liver to release glucose which is needed for the muscles during work outs.
With time, raised blood sugar can damage blood vessels in the kidneys as well as nephrons making them not work as well as they should. Many people with diabetes also develop high blood pressure, which can damage kidneys too.
Irrespective of type 1 or 2, Diabetes can be inherited and is linked to your family history and genetics but environmental factors also play a role. Not everyone with a family history of diabetes will get it, but you're more likely to develop it if a parent or sibling has it.
Diabetes may not be cured but it can be managed with controlled diet, physical activity, medications and regular doctors visits.
