Type 2 diabetes is found to be most common among African-Americans, Hispanics and Native Americans. It is found in a lesser degree among Asians and Caucasians. Looking at the above list, there are things we can do to help with prevention, such as regular daily exercise and keeping our body weight in control. A low fat diet high in fiber is a must. Make sure to eat lots of fresh veggies and fruits as well as whole grains.
Exercise can be as simple as taking a daily walk or dancing to the radio.
You may experience some or all of the indicators of diabetes. Your doctor will be able to tell you through thorough examination and testing if you actually have diabetes. Yeast infections may be present in men and women. If you're found to have diabetes, your doctor may prescribe pills or injections. You will also need to test your blood sugar level daily, maybe even several times a day, with the use of a home testing kit.
