Insulin is hormone secreted by the pancreas which helps the glucose generated by food to get into the cells. In many cases body don't make insulin or looses ability to utilize it. However, the cause behind the Aamira health condition is primarily hypertension, post traumatic stress and smoking. Through the studies it has been found that people with high blood pressure are in high risk of the insulin resistance (Thompson, 2019). The individuals with the hypertension are at more risk for developing the diabetes due to enhance pressure in blood vessels. High blood pressure might damage the cells of inner lining of arteries. It might not result as direct cause of the diabetes but it result in enhancing the risk of developing diabetes in the patient. Although, cigarette smoking is infectious to health condition as it contains harmful substance like hydrogen cyanide, carbon monoxide and many more. These substance effect is primarily seen in body through damage it cause to the tissues or displaces the oxygen movement in blood. These substances harm the body cells while causing the inflammation which might also creates the state where the cells stop responding to the insulin.
