While some risk factors associated with prediabetes may be debated, there is some consensus among many in the medical field on some. What I am going to give you today is a list of risk factors compiled by a group of doctors, dieticians and researchers for a presentation and later published in article form in Medical News Today.

This is a very recent compilation and I feel is very well done. I have long advocated that there is a genetic component to diabetes.

That is becoming more clear in many of the recent research I have done.

Many factors can contribute to the development of prediabetes.

Increasingly a link between genetics, family history, and prediabetes has been identified. However, inactivity and excess belly fat are considered to be the most common and influential causes of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.

Risk factors for prediabetes include:

Being overweight or obese: The more fatty tissue that is present, the less sensitive to glucose the cells become.

Excess fat around the abdominal region: For women, a waist size over 35 inches is linked to a higher prevalence of prediabetes. For men, a waist size over 40 inches is considered a risk.

Age: Prediabetes can develop in anyone of any age, but the risk of prediabetes is thought to rise after the age of 45 years. This may be due to inactivity, poor diet, and a loss of muscle mass, which typically declines with age.

Diet: Excess carbohydrate, especially sweetened foods or beverages, can impair insulin sensitivity over time. Diets high in red or processed meats are also linked to the development of prediabetes.

Sleep patterns: People with obstructive sleep apnea have an increased risk of developing prediabetes.

Family history: Having an immediate relative with type 2 diabetes significantly increases the risk of developing the condition.

Stress: During periods of stress the body releases the hormone cortisol into the blood stream, raising blood glucose levels. People who experience long-term stress may have Cushing's syndrome, which can cause diabetes.

Gestational diabetes: Women who give birth to babies weighing 9 pounds or more may be at a higher risk for prediabetes. Women who develop gestational diabetes during pregnancy, and their children, are at a higher risk of developing the condition.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): Women with PCOS are more susceptible to insulin resistance, which can lead to prediabetes, or diabetes type 2. Women with diabetes type 1 have a higher risk of PCOS.

Ethnicity: The risk of developing prediabetes tends to be higher for African-Americans, Native Americans, Hispanics, Pacific Islanders, and Asian Americans. The reason remains unclear.

Metabolic syndrome: When the impact of obesity, high blood pressure, high levels of triglycerides ("bad" fats) and low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL or "good" fats) combine, insulin resistance can occur. Metabolic syndrome is defined as the presence of three or more conditions that influence metabolism.
