Body mass index (BMI) 28 kg\/m\u00b2<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
A BMI of 28 kg\/m\u00b2 classifies the individual as overweight (BMI 25-29.9). Being overweight or obese is one of the most well-established modifiable risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes mellitus. Excess adipose tissue, particularly visceral fat, contributes to insulin resistance, which is a hallmark of type 2 diabetes. By losing weight through lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise, individuals can significantly reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Studies show that a weight loss of 5-10% of body weight can improve insulin sensitivity and glycemic control.<\/p>\n\n\n\nB. Sister with type 2 diabetes mellitus<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Having a first-degree relative, such as a sibling, with type 2 diabetes mellitus is a non-modifiable risk factor. This indicates a genetic predisposition to the disease. While genetics alone do not determine whether someone will develop diabetes, they significantly increase the likelihood when combined with environmental and lifestyle factors. Those with a family history should be more vigilant in managing modifiable risk factors such as diet, physical activity, and body weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\nC. Cannabis use<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Cannabis use has an unclear and complex relationship with type 2 diabetes. Some studies suggest that cannabinoids may affect metabolism and insulin sensitivity, but the evidence is inconsistent, and cannabis use is not widely recognized as a direct risk factor for type 2 diabetes. Its effects on weight, appetite, and energy balance might indirectly influence diabetes risk, but more research is needed to establish any definitive link.<\/p>\n\n\n\nD. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) 43 mg\/dL<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
An HDL level of 43 mg\/dL is slightly below the recommended level (\u226550 mg\/dL for women, \u226540 mg\/dL for men). Low HDL is considered a modifiable risk factor for type 2 diabetes, as higher HDL levels are associated with better insulin sensitivity and lower cardiovascular risk. HDL levels can be improved through lifestyle changes such as regular physical activity, smoking cessation, and a healthy diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
