“Excess weight increases the risk of developing diabetes six to seven times. Low physical activity – 3-5 times. If a person has relatives with type 2 diabetes (mostly the older generation), the risk due to heredity increases by 2-6 times. If you are a woman who is going through menopause and whose underlying health and metabolism are changing, you also need to take your past history into consideration. “If she had gestational diabetes, that is, high blood sugar, during pregnancy, this significantly increases the risk,” Mokrysheva said.
