DO YOU
HAVE A HEALTHY BODY WEIGHT?
Obesity
may make your body more resistant to insulin, which may
increase your risk of getting diabetes. In fact, 50% of
type 2 diabetics are obese.
Therefore,
maintain a healthy body weight to minimise your risk.
Use
the BMI Calculator to assess whether you are in the healthy
weight range or not. (Healthy weight range = BMI: 18.5 to
24.9)
If
you are overweight or obese, you should aim for a healthier
weight by reducing your calorie consumption and increasing
your physical activity.
