UNDERSTANDING DIABETES
Who’s at risk of diabetes?
There is no way of knowing who will develop Type I or type 2 diabetes – anyone could, but some people are more susceptible than others. These are the factors that put you at a greater risk of developing diabetes.
Age
Type 2 Diabetes is the most common form of the disease, and, as its former name adult – or maturity – onset diabetes implies, it usually occurs among the over – 40s. The older you get, the great the risk of developing this form of diabetes.
