00:00
We've just wrapped up
the main risk factors
for type 1 diabetes.
00:04
Now, we're going to shift gears
and look at the risk factors
for diabetes type 2.
00:10
Now, they're divided into
four categories.
00:12
And these have been identified
by the US Department of Health
and Human Services.
00:16
So the first one is
family history.
00:19
Second one, lifestyle.
00:21
We've also got associated
medical conditions or events,
and race or ethnicity.
00:27
Okay, let's not move
too quickly on this.
00:30
These are four very important
categories.
00:33
When you're meeting your clients
and you're doing
your assessment of them,
these are things that should be
taking off in your brain.
00:40
So family history,
lifestyle,
associated medical conditions
or events,
race and ethnicity.
00:47
I'd like you to spend some time
kind of playing with this list
of four here.
00:51
Pause the video.
00:52
Do the list backwards.
00:53
Start in the middle.
00:55
Do what you need to do
to really take the time
to make sure these four category
are solid in your brain
before you continue on
with the rest of the video.
01:05
So let's now start
breaking these down.
01:07
Let's talk about family history.
01:09
If you have a family member
with diabetes,
you have a much higher risk for
developing diabetes yourself.
01:15
So that's why we put
a picture up there for you.
01:16
You see, you've got - thats you.
01:18
You are going to pretend,
that's what you look like
for right now.
01:21
And you notice you've got some
little sugar cubes
by the blood glucometer.
01:24
That's to help you think of
elevated blood sugar.
01:28
First of four categories,
family history.
01:31
So if you have a family member
with diabetes,
you have a higher risk
of developing diabetes.
01:36
So it's even more important
that you start looking at
lifestyle factors.
