    Here Are Six Preventive Measures Against Diabetes for Women and To-Be Moms

    Diabetes is a condition caused by an imbalance in the insulin. This can happen either because of malfunctioning pancreas or your body’s inability to use insulin. While diabetes is one of the biggest health concern for both men and women, women have some different reasons that expose them to diabetes risk. According to International Diabetics Federation (IDF), diabetes is the 9th leading cause of death among women globally. Findings by IDF also suggest that 2 out of 5 women get diabetes at a young age.

    There are various factors that lead to diabetes such as obesity or rapid weight gain, sedentary lifestyle, PCOD, high blood pressure condition, etc. It’s not anymore a disease that you expect only when you cross a certain age as the risk of getting diabetes can start at a very young age as well because of the abovementioned factors.
