Obesity Still Major Diabetes Cause

   The International Diabetes Federation has come out with a new list of risk factors that can lead to the onset of type 2 diabetes. 

   Again, obesity is seen as a major factor. The group tells United Press International that it's imperative that if young people fall into certain condition categories they should immediately check with a physician for a consultation.
  
   The report shows that some 60 percent of people with diabetes have early signs of the condition years before they see a doctor. 

   Additionally the new numbers suggest that over 200 million people worldwide have a proclivity to the condition.
  
   People who are at the greatest risk for type 2 diabetes are those who are overweight for their age and height, inactive people, older Americans and people with a family history of diabetes.
