Anybody with a family history of Type 2 diabetes can be at risk of acquiring this disease. That's why it is important to educate yourself on this form of diabetes. Know its causes, and protect yourself from getting it.
Obesity, or too high a proportion of fat in the body tissues, is associated with marked insulin resistance. Where this weight is carried is also a factor, fat accumulated in the abdominal area giving a much greater risk. Excess fat prevents the insulin from entering the body's cells and makes the body resistant to it.
Eating healthy foods that do not cause spikes in blood sugar levels is one of the most important aspects of controlling diabetes. Patients should avoid sugary foods and those low in fiber and protein.
Even making some simple changes like parking further from the entrance of the store or taking the elevator at work can get your body fitter.
Inactivity or a very low-level of activity contributes to insulin resistance and may bring on Type 2 diabetes in some people. As well, inactivity often leads to obesity which compounds the risk.
