Here are a few important facts about diabetes and potatoes that you should know:<\/p>\n<p>-Diabetes type 1 is an inherited genetic disorder that is marked by lack of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/articles\/what-are-the-most-common-side-effects-of-insulin-injection\/\">production of insulin<\/a> in the body. This cannot occur by eating or avoiding any food substance.<\/p>\n<p>-If you have the gene for diabetes type 1, you will manifest the symptoms despite avoiding potatoes, or even sugar.<\/p>\n<p>-Diabetes type 2 is caused by resistance of the body cells in using naturally produced insulin. Type 2 diabetes i has multiple risk factors including family history of diabetes, being overweight or obese and a sedentary lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; If you have any of these risk factors, your chance of being diagnosed with diabetes type 2 at some point in life is high.<\/p>\n<p>-From a nutritional point of view, 100g potatoes contain 158 Kcal energy, 2.75g protein, 5.48g fat, 25.55g carbohydrates, 2g fiber and 0.37g sugars.None of these will produce insulin resistance.<\/p>\n<p>-However, eating excessive amount of potatoes can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/articles\/obesity-could-make-your-brain-to-age-faster\/\">lead to obesity<\/a> in the long run when coupled with lack of activity.<\/p>\n<p>-Obesity and a sedentary life are both leading risk factors for diabetes type 2. So indirectly, you might land up having diabetes.<\/p>\n<p>So, it is lack of physical activity and not potatoes that can be a risk factor for causing diabetes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11294\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/rsz_11rsz_2957240-2.jpg\" alt=\"medicine online\" width=\"630\" height=\"332\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[56,92,96],"class_list":["post-18325","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-diabetes","tag-anti-diabetic","tag-diabetes-diet","tag-diabetes-tips"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Does Eating Potatoes Cause Diabetes? - Tata 1mg Capsules<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Eating potatoes does not cause diabetes.
