There are many contributing factors to Diabetes. Here are the ones applicable to Type 2 Diabetes:

  • Obesity,
  • Lack of Exercise,
  • Unhealthy Diet,
  • Family History of Diabetes,
  • Increasing Age,
  • High blood pressure,
  • High Cholesterol,
  • and History of Gestational Diabetes.

For Type 1 Diabetes, there are less contributing factors. Exposure to a viral illness, is one of these factors. Type 1 Diabetes could be the result of your white blood cells attacking the pancreas in response to a viral illness, which produces the insulin in the body.

Also, you are more likely to have Type 1 Diabetes if you are a child, young adult or teenager, and have someone in the family with this type of diabetes.

Obesity is one of the main risk factors associated with diabetes.
