www.diabetesdiettreatment.com Type 2 diabetes is rampant in the US Even children are now being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, which used to be referred to as 'adult onset' diabetes. It's known that certain ethnic groups, such as Native Americans and African Americans have statistically higher rates than other ethnic groups. This disease also tends to run in families. If you have a family history of diabetes or are genetically vulnerable, you'd be smart to put a type 2 diabetes prevention program in place now.
