🌟 Understanding Diabetes Risk Factors & the Role of a Dietitian Nutritionist 🌟
❓Did you know that certain risk factors can increase your chance of developing diabetes?
Here are some key ones to consider:
🍏Physical Inactivity: A sedentary lifestyle can contribute significantly to your risk. Regular movement is vital!
🍏Overweight/Obesity: Excess weight can lead to insulin resistance, increasing your likelihood of diabetes.
🍏Pre-diabetic State: If you’ve been diagnosed with prediabetes, it’s crucial to take action now to prevent progression to diabetes.
🍏History of Gestational Diabetes: Women who had gestational diabetes during pregnancy are at a higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes later.
🍏Family History: A family history of diabetes can increase your risk, as genetics play a significant role.
