.Diabetes is a pathology in which there is chronic hyperglycemia and can be due to several causes. One of them is a sedentary lifestyle. In a normal way, an individual consumes sugars that will be used to obtain energy to perform daily activities. However, when there is a sedentary lifestyle, the sugars consumed are not metabolized causing acute hyperglycemia.
If the sedentary lifestyle continues, the hyperglycemia will also continue and become chronic hyperglycemia. Excess sugars can damage tissues by causing proteins to become glycosylated and can lead to metabolic syndrome, pre-diabetes and eventually diabetes.
