Atamaliza maphunziro angapo, asayansi adafika pamalingaliro okhumudwitsa: matenda a shuga a 2, omwe amadziwika ndi unyamata, amawonjezera ngozi zakufa. Tikuyankhula za mwayi wawonjezereka wa 60% wa kufa ndi matenda a mtima, komanso chiwopsezo cha 30% chaimfa chakufa kuchokera pazifukwa zilizonse. Koma mwayi wakufa ndi khansa mwa odwala otere ndi wotsika kuposa masiku onse, atero.
"Matenda a shuga a 2 mwa achinyamata amakula kwambiri ndipo amachititsa kufa kwakukulu," atero wolemba nawo kafukufuku Dianna Magliano, wamkulu wa labotale ku Baker Institute for Heart and Diabetes ku Melbourne.
Chifukwa chiyani izi zikuchitika? Mwambiri, chifukwa achinyamata amakhala ndi moyo woposa chaka chimodzi ndi shuga wambiri komanso zovuta zina.
Dr. Joel Zonszine, wamkulu wa Clinical Center for Diabetes ku Montefiore Medical Center ku New York, sanatenge nawo nawo phunziroli, komanso akuti zaka makumi angapo zapitazi, matenda ashuga a 2 asintha kwambiri, amakhala ankhanza kwambiri ndipo adayamba kukula pafupifupi zaka zilizonse, koma m'mbuyomu amatchedwa matenda a okalamba.
"Mu mtundu wake waposachedwa, matenda a shuga a mtundu wachibiri amayambitsa mavuto ambiri ndi kunenepa kwambiri komanso lipotoxicity (uku ndikudzikundikira kwa cholesterol komwe sikoyenera kukhala - m'chiwindi, impso kapena mtima), kumva kwa insulin kumawonjezeka, kutupa kwambiri kumachitika, ndipo zonsezi zimayambitsa matenda a mtima asanakwane, "atero Dr. Zonszain.
Pothirira ndemanga zokhudzana ndi chiopsezo chochepetsa khansa, Zonszain akuti khansa nthawi zambiri imayamba pang'onopang'ono ndipo samapezeka nthawi yomweyo mpaka anthu azikalamba. Ananenanso kuti kunenepa kwambiri, komwe kumalumikizana ndi matenda amtundu wa 2, kumathandizanso kukhazikitsa khansa yayikulu kwambiri, kotero kuti, m'malingaliro ake, zotsatira za kafukufukuyu zikuwonetsa kuti matenda oyamba a matenda ashuga a 2 sangathe kukhala ndi khansa.
Mwina mfundo yoti odwala achichepere omwe ali ndi matenda ashuga amafa kawirikawiri chifukwa cha khansa imachitika kokha chifukwa chakuti matendawa amatenga ukalamba. Palinso kuthekera kwakuti popeza anthu odwala matenda a shuga ayenera kumakayezetsa pafupipafupi, akapezeka ndi khansa nthawi yayitali ndipo nthawi zambiri amachira.
Ngakhale zili choncho, chinthu chimodzi chodziwikiratu: kufalikira kwa matenda ashuga 2 akuwonjezeka, makamaka pakati pa achinyamata. Asayansi akuwoneka ngati alamu - matendawa ayenera kuyang'aniridwa mwachangu ndikupeza njira zabwino zochizira. "Kukhala ndi moyo wathanzi kumatha kuthandizira pamenepa. Kunenepa kwambiri kumatithandizanso. Kukula kwa matendawa kuyenera kupewedwa m'mibadwo yonse," akutero Dr. Magliano.
Omwe ali ndi matenda ashuga kale, madotolo amalangiza kuti azikhala ndi chidwi ndi thanzi la mtima kuti achepetse zovuta za mtima ndi mavuto ena. Kuti muchite izi, muyenera kusunga kuchuluka kwa shuga pamalo obiriwira, ndipo pali mipata yambiri ya izi, kuphatikizapo mankhwala, chifukwa cha izi kuposa kale. Ndikofunikanso kuwunika kuchuluka kwa kulemera ndi cholesterol, amakumbutsa.
Dr. Zonszain akumaliza, "Titha kuwonjezera moyo wathu ngati titalimbana ndi matendawa mwankhanza monga momwe zimatikhudzira," ndipo uphungu wake uyenera kutsatiridwa.
