* Excess body weight (especially around the waist)
* Family history of diabetes
* Given birth to a baby weighing more than 9 pounds
* HDL cholesterol under 35

Persons from certain ethnic groups, including African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Native Americans, all have high rates of diabetes
Everyone over 45 should have their blood glucose checked at least every 3 years!. Regular testing of random blood glucose should begin at a younger age, and be performed more often if you are at higher risk for diabetes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
