Select one: a. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and coronary heart disease b. Stroke and coronary heart disease c. Cancer, coronary heart disease and stroke d. Cancer, dementia and coronary heart disease

Explanation / Answer

Part 1;Ans-b.tobacco smoking
Smoking can cause type 2 diabetes. In fact, smokers are ideally 30–40% more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than non-smokers. So what happens is people with diabetes who smoke are more likely than non-smokers to have trouble with insulin dosing and with controlling their disease.
Smokers with diabetes have higher risks for serious complications, including,
Heart problems,
Peripheral vascular disease,
Retinopathy and peripheral neuropathy.
If a smoker with diabetes, quits smoking it will benefit health right away. People with diabetes who quit have better control of their blood sugar levels.
Part 2;Ans-c. Obesity can decrease peripheral insulin receptor sensitivity
Obesity and type 2 diabetes run parallel together, they combine to cause serious threat to life. The term diabesity explains it all.
It usually begins as insulin resistance, a disorder in which the cells do not use insulin properly. Insulin resistance occurs when the insulin-sensitive tissue loss response to insulin. The failure is a result of inhibition of the insulin signalling pathway. In obesity, there is a chronic and low grade inflammation that is involved in the pathogenesis of several chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes.
Weight loss is the major management option for type 2 diabetes. Moderate and sustained weight loss can improve insulin action, decrease fasting glucose concentrations and reduce the need for some diabetes medications.

Part 3; Ans-c. cancer, coronary heart disease and stroke.
Diabetes is associated with many diseases and disabilities, including ischemic heart disease, renal disease, visual impairment, peripheral arterial disease, peripheral neuropathy, and cognitive impairment. It is also associated with mortality. In 2014, diabetes was the seventh leading cause of death in the United States. It was listed as the underlying cause of death on 69,091 death certificates (2.8% of total deaths) and appeared in some location on a total of 234,051 death certificates.[Data collected from legitimate sources]
People who die with diabetes typically have other conditions that may contribute to death. When both diabetes and cardiovascular disease are mentioned on a death certificate, whether or not diabetes is listed as the underlying cause is highly variable and to some extent.
