PsychologyA relatively distinct set of character traits, which is commonly seen in individuals who are aggressive, hard-driving “workaholics”.

Q. what defines a person as having diabetes type 2?
Other risk factors include: history of gestational diabetes (diabetes during pregnancy), polycystic ovary syndrome, high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, and history of impaired glucose tolerance or impaired fasting glucose. People with metabolic syndrome (a combination of high cholesterol, high blood pressure, abdominal obesity, and abnormal ability to process glucose) are also at higher risk for the disease. Hope this helps.
