Risk factor.

No	Risk Factor
	Factor	Description
1	Obesity (overweight)	There is a significant link between obesity and blood sugar levels; the degree of obesity with body mass index (BMI) > 23 can lead to an increase in blood glucose levels of up to 200 mg%.
2	Hypertension	An increase in blood pressure beyond the normal range of hypertensive patients is closely associated with improper storage of salt and water or increased pressure in the body of the peripheral vascular system.
3	Dyslipidemia	Dyslipidemia is a condition characterized by elevated blood fat levels (triglycerides > 250 mg/dL). There is a relationship between an increase in plasma insulin and low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) (<35 mg/dL).
4	Age	Individuals aged >40 years are susceptible to DM, although it is possible for individuals aged <40 years to avoid DM. The increase in blood glucose occurs at the age of about 45 years and the frequency increases with age.
5	Genetic	Type 2 DM is thought to be associated with familial aggregation. The empirical risk in the event of type 2 DM will increase two to six times if there are parents or family members suffering from type 2 DM.
6	Alcohol and Cigarettes	An individual’s lifestyle is associated with an increase in the frequency of type 2 DM. Most of this increase is associated with increased obesity and decreased physical activity, while other factors associated with the shift from a traditional to a westernized environment, including changes in cigarette and alcohol consumption, also played a role in the increase. Type 2 DM alcohol will interfere with blood sugar metabolism, especially in people with type 2 DM, so it will complicate regulation and increase blood sugar.
