Well, really, diabetes affects every age group and ethnic background, plus the families and friends of those diabetics. Not to mention the healthcare system that we ALL use. It affects everyone.
Type 2 diabetes (the common form usually linked to obesity) tends to affect overweight people and minority groups (African Americans, American Indians, East Indians, Asians) the most. However, that does NOT mean that other groups do not develop it.
Type 1 diabetes is the rarer severe non-preventable kind that is NOT linked to lifestyle. It tends to affect more people of Northern European decent (rare in blacks and Asians), and usually first appears early in life in childhood, although it can appear at any age.
There are other RARE subtypes of diabetes (MODY, KIR 6) that run in families and are due to a specific known genetic defect.

now adays alot of your etnhic groups are getting diabetes mainly do to the fact that the diets they have are so rich in calories and then some of them not taking care of themselves being a black american i find that diabetes is on the rise in my race. and you wonder if the way the environment is going if it can be some of the blame why americans in general is getting all these diseases that at one time you seen that only a few people had them such as diabetes and cancers it really is affecting the younger generations. like type 2 diabetes was once common in your older folks now you have kids as young as 14 who has type 2 diabetes all the diseases our grandparents had and so on and so on had are affecting our kids and i wonder what is to blame maybe ?

It affect both men and women mostly in older age, however some got it at a young age through hereditory in the family tree which means genetic disorder.
Diabetes is an affluent disease, in other words it is the result of consuming too much junk food and is regardless of which ethnic group you belongs.

For type 2 diabetes the affect it has on your body all depends on how you control it. If you follow your diet, take meds, and follow your dr. suggestions properly you should have no major affects at all. But if you let it get out of control it can cause many harmful things to your body such as kidney failure, infections, amputations.........As far as men and women it affects them the same...But as you get older your chances of developing diabetes increases and also if you are African American or Hispanic.

For Type II - I don't know the answer to your question. What I do know for sure is that if you are thick waisted, it is a sign that your body does not handle insulin properly. Your body will tend to put fat on the front of you and that is deadly. Look around you and you can pick them out. Earlier they are apple shaped and as it progresses they get the big belly that is out of proportion to their body. They are usually a little to a lot overweight. There are many other signs but that is the big one. Who does diabetes affect the most-overeaters.

Diabetes is usually treated through a combination of diet (low sugar), exercise and medications/insulin. Milder cases can be controlled with just diet an/or exercise while more severe cases require meds or insulin as well.
