Dr. K.M. Venkat Narayan, the chief epidemiologist in the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention discovered in their studies that three out of four eighteen-year-old men will develop diabetes, while only thirty-five percent of eighteen-year-old women will develop diabetes in their lifetime. On the other hand, people with normal weight are also likely to develop this risk although the percentage is much lower for them. When I read about this stuff, I've realized that whether I'm too fat or just average, I'm still prone to developing type two diabetes.
