    This document discusses the causes of type 2 diabetes. The primary cause is genetics, as type 2 diabetes can be hereditary and passed down through families. Secondary causes include lifestyle factors like obesity, physical inactivity, and poor diet that contribute to insulin resistance or insufficient insulin production. Certain risk factors increase the chances of developing type 2 diabetes, such as family history, age over 55, gestational diabetes, or giving birth to a baby over 9 pounds. Managing type 2 diabetes involves lifestyle changes like diet, exercise, and potentially medication to control blood sugar levels.

    Type 2 Diabetes

    Type 2 diabetes on other hand is a multifactorial metabolic disease. Type 2 diabetes used

    to be known as adult-onset diabetes and accounts for around 90% of all diabetes cases, but today

    more children are being diagnosed with the disorder, probably due to the rise in childhood

    obesity. Obesity, elevated levels of lipids and insulin in the blood, and insulin resistance all

    accompany the elevated blood glucose that defines diabetes. (The Scientist Magazine, 2016)

    With type 2 diabetes, your body either resists the effects of insulin or doesn't produce

    enough insulin to maintain normal glucose levels. It is associated with modifiable lifestyle risk

    factors, also has strong genetic and family related risk factors.

    There's no cure for type 2 diabetes, but losing weight, eating well and exercising can help

    manage the disease. If diet and exercise aren't enough to manage your blood sugar well, you may

    also need diabetes medications such as oral drugs and/or insulin therapy to keep their blood

    glucose levels under control.

    Causes of Type 2 Diabetes

    Diabetes is a hereditary that runs in the family, meaning that they are passed down from

    the parents' genes or family member with diabetes, you may have a genetic disposition to the

    condition, which is the primary cause of acquiring diabetes.

    The second cause of type 2 diabetes, occurs when the body doesn't produce enough

    insulin to function properly, or the body's cells are resistant to insulin. This means glucose stays

    in the blood and isn't used as fuel for energy.


    While people may have a strong genetic disposition towards type 2 diabetes, the risk is

    greatly increased if people display a number of modifiable lifestyle factors including high blood

    pressure, overweight or obesity, insufficient physical activity, poor diet and the classic ‘apple

    shape’ body where extra weight is carried around the waist.

    According to Diabetes Australia Organization, People are at a higher risk of getting type

    2 diabetes in the family, which have a family history of diabetes. Adults are prone to risk that

    ages over 55 years of age. In middle age, range at 45 years of age can acquire also type 2

    diabetes either because of overweight or having hypertension. In some cases type 2 diabetes is

    interrelated to the people who have gestational diabetes when pregnant. These includes also, a

    woman who has given birth to a child over 4.5 kgs (9 lbs).
