What small, seemingly insignificant choices/habits can cause diabetes over years or a lifetime? And what chloices/habits can help prevent it?
I didnt mean generally speaking, i meant specific choices
 
People who are over weight and lead sedentary life styles are at a higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes. But not all heavy people have diabetes. The exact cause is not known. Type 1 is an autoimmune disorder.
 
sorry not any life style or habits are predisposing factors but the genetic factors auto immune disease factors and infection of the islets of langerhans (insulin producing cells )are the celebrated reasons
 
processed foods, any food that is white is bad for you generally , exercise helps keeping your weight down also , but a lot of folks are predisposed .
 
I'm assuming you're talking about Type 2 diabetes (Type 1 is auto-immune). No specific cause but a number of factors can contribute to it...like sedentary lifestyle, overweight, high sugar/fat diet..a FAMILY HISTORY of DM. also other diseases like hypertension...

risk also increases with age (45, 50 ++) and certain ethnic groups have a higher predisposition...
