The peak age of diabetes incidence:

The peak age of diabetes incidence is 50-65 years old, but in recent years, the number of young people with the disease has increased. Excluding genetic factors, the onset of diabetes is closely related to bad living habits. Bad habits such as excessive calorie intake, inactivity, sitting still for long periods of time, and staying up late can easily lead to elevated blood sugar over time.

Preventing diabetes should start from the fetus. Mother’s gestational diabetes affects the child’s lifelong health. The way to prevent diabetes starts with the old saying "shut your mouth and open your legs". Three feet of ice does not freeze in a day. From today on, pay attention to a balanced diet, participate in more sports, maintain a healthy lifestyle of going to bed early and getting up early, control the "three high" indicators, and stay away from diabetes.
