- There is no known reason for what causes diabetes. 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 diabetes 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 diabetes. This
- genetic malfunction affects how the bodies use energy and insulin – two key elements in
- the functioning of your body and the cause of diabetes 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 diabetes. 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 diabetes but it can be done. Discuss with your doctor options and
- ways to prevent or put-off the onset of diabetes.
- The gene that researchers have discovered as a precursor to diabetes 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 diabetes 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.
