Type 2 diabetes - Causes - NHS Choices

Three of the main risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes are:
age – being over the age of 40 (over 25 for people of south Asian, Chinese, African-Caribbean or black African origin, even if you were born in the UK)
genetics – having a close relative with the condition, such as a parent, brother or sister
weight – being overweight or obese
