According to ADJ, the disease can occur in any person in any age group, but the greatest risk is between people over 40, obese and seated. Inheritance, high alcohol consumption, hypertension, cholesterol and altered triglycerides and the history of gestational diabetes are also risk factors.
Diabetes is a progressive disease and, if not treated properly, can lead to complications such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension, renal insufficiency, loss of vision and even limb amputation.
