Summary:
There is no known reason for what causes Diabeets. There are certainly risk factors that
make the likelihood of you being diagnosed with the disease higher. One of the only risk
factors that you have control over is your weight. If you are obese, the single best thing
you can do for your health and the prevention of Diabeets is to lose weight. Even in small
increments, when you shed pounds you are increasing your health benefits.

There is no known reason for what causes Diabeets. There are certainly risk factors that
make the likelihood of you being diagnosed with the disease higher. One of the only risk
factors that you have control over is your weight. If you are obese, the single best thing
you can do for your health and the prevention of Diabeets is to lose weight. Even in small
increments, when you shed pounds you are increasing your health benefits.
These may be easier said than done. There are new studies that are now showing that
there is a genetic factor or mutation for people who are obese and have Diabeets. This
genetic malfunction affects how the bodies use energy and insulin ñ two key elements in
the functioning of your body and the cause of Diabeets and obesity.
The studies also state that this is not a cause and effect case. If you carry this defective
gene you are not guaranteed to be obese or have Diabeets. But the link is there and it can
be prevented. You may have to work harder at it than others to maintain a healthy body
weight and put off Diabeets but it can be done. Discuss with your doctor options and
ways to prevent or put-off the onset of Diabeets.
The gene that researchers have discovered as a precursor to Diabeets has been found in
young children. It is scary to know that children in their preschool years are being
diagnosed with obesity and type 2 Diabeets due to genetics. But parents can reduce or
prevent these things from happening by giving their children healthy lifestyle choices.
Now that a DNA link has been found, the research can focus on finding a way to fix or
prevent this from happening at some point in the future.
