Type 2 Diabetes: All That You Need To Know

The Most Common Causes

One huge factor would be the gene or genes responsible for insulin resistance. However, this has not been proven by scientists as yet. The lifestyle that you follow is also a contributing factor.

Another factor is the racial group you belong to. African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, and Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders are more prone to develop type 2 diabetes than white people.

Your lifestyle is another thing that determines whether or not you would have type 2 diabetes. Being obese and staying inactive is something that triggers your body to have type 32 diabetes. Remaining sedentary, cigarettes, drinking alcohol excessively, and consuming a high-fat, low-fiber, sugar-laden diet all raise risks as well.
