<abstract>
<p>Diabetes is a worldwide growing metabolic disease associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Type 2 diabetes is one of the subclasses of diabetes mellitus which is more prevalent than the other classes of diabetes approximately accounting for 90% of cases and if not diagnosed and managed timely can lead to quite serious complications. The development of type 2 diabetes is associated with both modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors. The purpose of this research is to review the available information about the predictors and associated risk factors of development of type 2 diabetes mellitus. As a global epidemic and a major threat to the global economy, type 2 diabetes is high on the international health agenda. Insulin resistance and cellular dysfunction are strongly influenced by both genes and nature. Since genetic factors are uncontrollable, modifiable risk factors must be controlled to prevent type 2 diabetes. Old age, obesity, physical inactivity, smoking is among the major predictors and risk factors of type 2 diabetes also individuals having family history of diabetes are an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Metabolic syndrome is also considered a significant predictor of type 2 diabetes. Women who suffered from gestational diabetes as well as their children, are also at greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Literature has revealed the potential predictors and risk factors of type 2 diabetes, which can help predict and diagnose the risk of diabetes even before symptoms develop. The risk of type 2 diabetes can be reduced by adopting a healthy lifestyle for which awareness campaigns and seminars can be beneficial in educating the public.
