Obesity has been found to contribute to approximately 55% of cases of type 2 diabetes; [10] chronic obesity leads to increased insulin resistance that can develop into type 2 diabetes, [11] most likely because adipose tissue (especially that in the abdomen around internal organs) is a source of several chemical signals, hormones and cytokines, to other tissues.
Prevention of type 2 diabetes can be achieved with both lifestyle changes and use of medication. [1] The American Diabetes Association categorizes people with prediabetes, who have glycemic levels higher than normal but do not meet criteria for diabetes, as a high-risk group. Without intervention, people with prediabetes progress to type 2 ...
The Nurses’ Health Study found that eating apples at least three times a week was associated with a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes, potentially due to their high levels of anthocyanins ...

[3] [4] [5] Some non-modifiable risk factors such as age at diabetes onset, type of diabetes, gender, and genetics may influence risk.
IDDM11 (insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus 11) is one of the susceptibility genes for IDDM which locates on chromosome 14q24.3-q31. [ 2 ] [ 6 ] This loci is identified by linkage to D14S67 marker via a sibling-pair linkage analysis [ 2 ] [ 6 ] Based on the previous study, the biological behavior of IDDM11is different to HLA region genes so ...
