The cause of Type I diabetes is genetically based, coupled with an abnormal immune response.


The cause of Type II diabetes is unknown, but medical experts believe that Type II diabetes runs in families. A person can inherit a tendency to get Type II diabetes, but it usually takes other factors to bring on the disease.


Factors associated with an increased risk for Type II diabetes include:

 

Sedentary lifestyle

Obesity (weighing 20 percent above a healthy body weight)

Advanced age

Unhealthy diet

Family history of diabetes

Improper functioning of the pancreas

Minority race (higher risk in Black, Hispanic, American Indian, westernized Asian and native Hawaiian populations)

Medication (cortisone and some high blood pressure drugs)

Women having given birth to a baby weighing more than 9 lbs.

Previously diagnosed gestational diabetes

Previously diagnosed IGT
