Diabetes cases are rising among the young population due to unhealthy lifestyles, poor diet, and lack of physical activity. Increased consumption of processed foods, sugary drinks, and high-calorie meals leads to obesity, a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes. Sedentary habits, excessive screen time, and reduced outdoor activities further worsen insulin resistance. Stress and poor sleep patterns also contribute to metabolic imbalances. Genetic predisposition plays a role, but lifestyle choices significantly impact early-onset diabetes. To prevent it, young individuals should focus on a balanced diet, regular exercise, stress management, and routine health check-ups for early detection and intervention.
