This results in blood sugar not being able to be into stored in cells to be converted into energy.

Genetics and a history in the family is a major cause. Obesity and Age greater than 45 years also plays a major role. Abnormal and fluctuating HDL cholesterol or triglyceride level is another cause. People with High blood pressure or women who’ve had a History of gestational diabetes are also at a significant risk.
