In order to prevent type 2 diabetes before further complications start to develop, it is imperative that you discuss your family's medical history with your doctor. Because it is closely related to your genetic disposition, doctors may be able to predict type 2 diabetes in advance – sometimes by years – before its actual diagnosis.
You and I are fortunate enough to be alive in a time when there is an enormous amount of data and research that has been done on the subject of diabetes with thousands of patients. Because of this research, doctors are able to determine the environmental factors that are responsible for taking a genetic possibility and turning it into a full-blown disease.
Listed below are the main environmental factors that are partly responsible for the influence of type 2 diabetes:
1. Living a sedentary lifestyle: There are many studies that demonstrate that being an inactive person greatly increases the risk of type 2 diabetes. The studies do not lie. The fact is that if you are physically inactive then you are at risk of triggering type 2 diabetes.
2. Maintaining a high body mass index: Body mass index, BMI, is the manner in which doctors view weight in relation to your height. Generally, people that are genetically disposed to type 2 diabetes and are living a sedentary lifestyle will usually have a very high BMI. When you're fat ratio is more than your weight in comparison, then you are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
3. Visceral Fat: Once diabetics become overweight and pile on the extra fat, this weight is distributed centrally. This is known as visceral fat. You can check your levels of visceral fat by measuring your waistline because this type of fat is maintained in your midsection. Visceral fat is dangerous to a person who is genetically disposed to type 2 diabetes because it tends to create more insulin resistance then fat stored in other areas of the body
4. Not enough fiber in your diet: Studies also show that people who have diabetes tend to lack enough fiber in their diet. Because dietary fiber helps slow down the rate of glucose that enters the bloodstream, it is considered a protective agent in the fight against diabetes.
