Most people with type two diabetes have a condition called prediabetes for 5 to 10 years before their diagnosis of diabetes. People who are at risk are anyone overweight and has a family member with a history of diabetes, high blood pressure, low HDL, cholestrol, and high triglycerides. I feel that the most common factor to type two diabetes is being overweight. If a person is overweight they do have a huge chance of getting diabetes and they should be tested for it.
