Todays blog post is on :

Risk Factors
Complications

RISK FACTORS :

These include :

• Family history /Genetic disposition : Having the genes doesn’t necessarily mean it would lead to the full-blown disease . Epigenetics is what plays the major role
• Obesity especially around the belly
• Bad Diet eg eating foods high in sugar and carbs
• Lack of exercise : exercise helps with reversing insulin resistance
• Race like being Asian , African when compared to Caucasians
• Metabolic syndrome
• Pre-diabetes
• Gestational diabetes

COMPLICATIONS :

• Cardiovascular disease
• Dental disease
• Erectile dysfunction
• Kidney disease
• Neuropathy
• Retinopathy and vision problems
• Foot disease
• Alzheimer’s
• Skin and mouth diseases

Knowing all these , it’s pertinent that we don’t hold with this disease
