Type 2 diabetes is more common in people older than 40 years, she added that the primary reason for occurrence of type two diabetes is life style disorder. On this occasion she said that one is more likely to develop type 2 diabetes if you are not physically active and are overweight or have obesity.

She urged the audience to eat healthy, exercise and be alert about the signals that the body indicates.
