The presence of one risk factor does not predict diabetes, but it does suggest a possibility. The more risk factors you have, the greater your chance of developing diabetes.
- Age: All people are vulnerable to the disease throughout their lives. However, the risk is higher as you grow older. There is a gradual increase in susceptibility, with slight peaks at puberty and during pregnancy, until we reach the age of 40. Then there is a rapid jump.
- Heredity:
if you have a family history of diabetes, especially parents or siblings with diabetes, then you’re near the top of the list in terms of risk. Heredity is the most important predisposing factor for diabetes, especially for type-I diabetes. - Obesity: 80 to 85 percent of people with type-II diabetes are overweight. It is true that not all overweight people have diabetes. But if you are obese, you may be setting yourself up for this disease 10 or 20 years from now. (You are considered obese, if you are more than 20 percent over ideal body weight.)
- Race: In the United States the disease is more common among African-Americans, Hispanics and American Indians. More than 40% of Pima Indians in the United States have type 2 diabetes. However, that race alone does not predict diabetes; it must be combined with another factor, such as obesity.
- Poverty:
Researchers have uncovered a link between poverty and diabetes. In a survey in the USA, households with the lowest income-under $15,000- was found to have the highest incidence of diabetes. - Having impaired glucose tolerance.
- Having high blood pressure or high cholesterol levels (240 mg/dl or more)
- In women, having a history of gestational diabetes or delivery of babies weighing more than 9 pounds
The two major factors contributing to today’s alarming rise in diabetes are: poor diet and lack of exercise. In today’s fast paced culture, with its emphasis on “fast foods”, and it’s de-emphasis on exercise, more and more of us are eating unhealthy diets and choosing poor lifestyles.
Our typical diet has become way out of balance. We eat way too many simple sugars, way too often. Most people consume candy, French fries, potato chips, ice cream, pasta etc on a regular basis. We eat twice the calories we need, twice the protein we need, and each year the average person consumes over 160 pounds of sugars and sweeteners we don’t need at all.
When you consider that so many of us are overfed and so few of us get any regular exercise and then add to that the fact that many of us overuse alcohol and nicotine which increases oxidative stress. It’s no wonder that millions of us already suffer from diabetes, or are at great risk of developing diabetes in the near future.
The ever increasing number of overweight, out of shape, oxidative stressed people in today’s societies around the world, is directly proportional to the epidemic rise of diabetes.
