Some people are at higher risk of type 2 diabetes because they:
- Are overweight or have obesity.
- Are age 45 or older.
- Have a parent, brother, or sister with type 2 diabetes.
- Are physically active less than 3 times a week.
- Had gestational diabetes (diabetes during pregnancy) or gave birth to a baby who weighed more than 9 pounds.

You can prevent or reverse prediabetes with simple, proven lifestyle changes such as losing weight if you’re overweight, eating healthier, and getting regular physical activity.
According to the CDC a total of 30.3 million people have diabetes (9.4% of the US population.)
