Type 2 diabetes is the most common as cited in an article: Five Lifestyle Factors Lower Diabetes Risk researched and written by a Research Team at the National Institute of Health in Rockville, MD. Too high level of glucose/sugar in the blood causes type 2 diabetes. Research has shown that over time, high levels of glucose can lead to heart disease, stroke, blindness, nerve damage and other problems.

It has been widely thought that obesity was a main cause of diabetes, however, Dr. Jared Reis of NIH said: “However, we found that overweight or obese adults with a greater number of the other healthy lifestyle factors had a lower risk of developing diabetes.”
Their study found that while high levels of glucose over time can lead to heart disease, stroke, blindness and other problems. A family history of diabetes is strongly linked to type 2 diabetes. But these results show that you may still be able to prevent or delay the disease by leading a healthy lifestyle. However, it was found having a healthy diet, keeping an ideal body weight, being physically active, not smoking and minimizing alcohol use reduces type 2 Diabetes. This is worth taking time to change your lifestyle.
What we found was most surprising in this study was the finding that obesity was not a major factor in developing diabetes. “Not being overweight or obese led to the greatest protection,” Reis says. “However, we found that overweight or obese adults with a greater number of the other healthy lifestyle factors had a lower risk of developing diabetes. This is good news because it suggests that overweight or obese adults can benefit by adopting other healthy lifestyle behaviors.” While this is true, not maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle could cause obese individuals to become Diabetic.
