Diabetes is a major and potentially life-threating disease caused by imbalances in insulin and glucose levels in the bloodstream. Risk factors for Type 2 diabetes include: age, being overweight, genetic predisposition, and a reduction in physical activity. 1 of 4 seniors above the age of 65 is affected by the condition. Early detection and diagnosis are key in reducing the risk and effectively treating diabetes. It is important to remember that a healthy lifestyle focusing on appropriate diet and exercise constitutes the foundation for diabetes prevention and treatment.
