Diabetic Retinopathy Treatment Care

Question by Camellia: What are the many factors contributing to getting type 2 diabetes?
Why do you think so many more people are being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in recent years than ever before? One of my guesses is all of the preservatives and junk that has been included in people’s diets as more prepared foods have been in the markets, and fast foods.
Everyone had helpful information about diabetes factors. Thanks for the comments.

What do you think? Answer below!

Is age a factor? How about just one of your parents having it? Do they both have to have it in order for you to get it too?
And what are some of the most common signs you may have diabetes? Like what should you be on the look out for?
I’m just kind of confused over the whole the so I’d like for someone to maybe shine some light on it.
