There is an increasing incidence of non-dependent diabetes mellitus among adolescents in Greater Cincinnati, accompanying the nation rise in adolescent obesity and strong family histories of NIDDM are important risk factors. Because NIDDM leads to long-term morbidity the prevention of obesity, as well as early identification of overt disease, is critical.

How can we be protected against this disease refer to as diabetes

Diet is implicated in NIDDM.

Preliminary research suggests that people who eat smaller meals more frequently rather than two or three larger meals a day may be protected from developing NIDDM .Please how true is this research?

Maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY)[1] refers to any of several hereditary forms of diabetes caused by mutations in an autosomal dominant gene[2] (sex independent, i.e. inherited from any of the parents) disrupting insulin production. MODY is often referred to as "monogenic diabetes"[3][4] to distinguish it from the more common types of diabetes (especially type 1 and type 2), which involve more complex combinations of causes involving multiple genes (i.e., "polygenic") and environmental factors. MODY 2 and MODY 3 are the most common forms. "[5] MODY should not be confused with latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA) — a form of type 1 DM, with slower progression to insulin dependence in later life.

Mature-onset diabetes is another disease of concern internationally. The risk of developing non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) increases with age, probably due to a reduction in the production of insulin and other hormones. Preliminary research suggests that people who eat smaller meals more frequently, rather than two or three larger meals a day, may be protected from developing NIDDM

In WEstern countries individuals consume richer, fatter food, so there is a higher risk of developing diabetes
