People who are inactive, certain races, pregnant women, certain types of medication, stressed out people and people with hypertension.

People who are on a high diet of sugars and high GI carbohydrates

Shock, trauma, or grief can bring on Diabetes too. My father-in-law was diagnosed shortly after his wife of 53yrs passed away. I have also had a friend diagnosed with this disease shortly after shock and trauma in her life.

Many diabetics only begin to put weight on AFTER they are diagnosed with diabetes, as the insulin that many have to inject into them every day is also known as the 'Fat Hormone', and also insulin produces a lot of hunger.
